...caused a Web-wide stir when she described firing her nanny Tessy for blogging about the family. The Web consensus? Olen was wrong to sack the nanny--ATRIOS dubbed the essayist "wanker of the week"--and downright depraved for airing her dirty laundry in the pages of the Gray Lady. Opinion was divided on whether Tessy made a mistake by confessing the blogging to her employer. The nanny fired back with a 3,200-word rebuttal on her site, INSTRUCTIONS TO THE DOUBLE, then announced that she would blog no more--at least under her real name...

DIED. L. PATRICK GRAY, 88, onetime Nixon loyalist and acting director of the FBI during Watergate, who expressed "total shock" at the disclosure that his former deputy W. Mark Felt was the secret journalistic source Deep Throat; of pancreatic cancer; in Atlantic Beach, Fla. Tapped by Nixon in May 1972, after the death of J. Edgar Hoover, he testified during his 1973 Senate confirmation hearings that he had been turning over FBI files on the Watergate probe to the White House. That prompted Nixon adviser John Ehrlichman to suggest famously that Gray be left to "twist slowly, slowly...
