While shifting into a high-gear career and moving to the Washington area in 1976 meant a more stressful way of life, it also signaled the start of Gorelick's turn in the public spotlight. By the time she was appointed counsel at the Defense Department, Gorelick became aware that she had once again picked a hard fight...

But when Kathie Lee lashed out at the tabloid, predicting it would soon publish a story about the alien baby she and her television co-host Regis Philbin would be having, the Globe shifted into a lower gear, publishing pictures of Gifford and Johnson groping each other, along with the steamy dialogue between the two.

She told them about Passport in Time (PIT), a USDA Forest Service program established in 1988 that invites the public (at no cost except for providing your own food, camping gear and, at some locations, water) to join in excavations at its sites.

Her face and hands stained black from cleaning her Russian T-55 tank's gun barrel, Nasferi slips into the small driver's hatch beneath the turret of the tank, which jumps as she jams it into gear and guides it easily across the desert. In Washington, where she lived from 1977 to 1989, "I had my own house, a car and a job, but I kept listening to reports of how bad things were in my country," she says. So she decided she had to go home...
