...Garden or the East Room, where acoustic requirements require reporters to use microphones to speak with the President. But it was the President's choice to cross over to the other side of the White House complex Thursday, and he got a glimpse of what his press secretary and friend Robert Gibbs has to deal with almost every day. Chances are, he won't be back in that enemy territory for a long time to come...
...long after Patrick told his wife Tammie he wanted a divorce, she posted an angry, hurt note on "the wall," or public-comments section, of his Facebook page.

One friend told me that police were preventing people from reaching the site, shouting at them to get back into subway stations and beating them back into adjoining streets and alleys. Based on most accounts, Saturday's clashes had the highest number of casualties. Although Iranian state media have reported between 10 and 13 deaths, chain e-mails distributed by government opposition report more than 20 deaths...
