...team. When I lost my virginity, I was baby-sitting them. Marlon was still in diapers. Shawn was about 3. I'm in the room trying to get my groove on, and I hear this little snicker. I look, and the two of them are standing in the hallway peeking in the door...
...first floor of CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., below the seventh-floor office of Director George Tenet, there is a hallway lined with signed photo-graphs of all the Presidents who have served since the agency was established in 1947.

To the right of the long check-in desk, though, a quieter enclave awaits. There, in a hallway accented with deep cherrywood and mirrored walls, three elevators whisk guests to a more intimate check-in area on the 10th floor of the resort's newest addition: the $275 million, 12-story Venezia hotel tower, opened last June and billed as "an oasis of tranquility."
