...nights ago, Georgia's Sam Nunn rushed from the supersecret Senate Intelligence Committee hearings on the Iran fiasco to a Washington dinner party. His excited table partners waited between sips of wine for him to begin to blab (as 99 out of every 100 members of Congress are wont to do), to divulge savory tidbits with the salad about the notorious swashbuckler Oliver North, to float with the coffee dark hints of world-tilting plots yet unexposed...

Then, in 2000, after his visitation time had been cut back around the same time that a court order nearly doubled his monthly child-support payments, he took a test that showed he was not the biological parent. Three years and about $100,000 in child support and legal fees later, Smith, 46, managed to disentangle himself from any responsibilities...
