...homosexual activity at events that took place long before Espy held office. Smaltz subpoenaed the names of 2,000 Tyson workers who had filed worker's compensation claims against the company on the theory that they might be more willing to expose its underside. He ordered up Sun-Diamond Growers lobbyist Richard Douglas' phone records dating back to 1987--though Espy didn't take office till 1993--and his passports since 1978. At least one judge quashed some of Smaltz's subpoenas. Several of his lawyers quit because they were concerned about the prosecutorial standards of his office...

For a person with no prior political experience, Bono has generated some of D.C.'s juiciest headlines. Her latest jaw dropper comes from an interview she granted political rag TV Guide, in which she claims her late husband's addiction to prescription pain killers...
That was the dream. Reality, however, had other ideas. I just couldn't get my network to work, and the instruction manual was woefully devoid of troubleshooting tips. Cursing foully, I called Diamond customer support. I detest manufacturers that don't provide toll-free support to help fix their poorly designed or documented products. Diamond had me wait five minutes--on my long-distance dollar--listening to something called WOHN (the World on Hold Network, believe it or not), before the tech guy picked up. Phone number? he asked.
