...whimsical, Ella Fitzgerald-like tone on the titular track is adorable and catchy. “O’Sailor” evokes the tempestuous 18-year-old girl with whom I fell in love, but is sung with the distance of experience. She strains voice and emotions in several songs, but they don’t undermine the overall innovation...
Miller's testimony was expected to be the final piece in a puzzle assembled by U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who for 21 months has been investigating how a reference to a CIA operative named Valerie Plame turned up in a column by Robert Novak back in 2003--a potential violation of a 1982 law forbidding the disclosure of a covert CIA operative's identity. Fitzgerald is probing who, if anyone, leaked Plame's name and why. It has been clear from the outset that the White House wasn't happy when Plame's husband, diplomat Joseph Wilson, blew the whistle...

Cooper called Libby himself to ask for a waiver; Libby asked Cooper to have his lawyer, who happened to be Abrams, call Tate to work out the details...
...deal by external forces at work in both camps. Pressure had been growing on Libby from G.O.P. lawmakers to take whatever steps necessary to free Miller from her imprisonment. And there was the possibility that Miller was looking at more time in jail than she had bargained for. Although Fitzgerald is expected to finish this month, he has no obligation to do so. He could have boosted Miller's civil contempt charge to a criminal one or shifted the probe to a new grand jury, a step that could have meant more jail time for Miller...
