...This will come as a big shock to the Bush camp. The transition team had prided itself on Prussian-style efficiency, and they thought they had an airtight process. Bush did not want to repeat the mistakes of Bill Clinton, whose process was haphazard and full of leaks, and where skeletons in the closet came out to topple nominees.

And an entry for India that purports to be a list of the world's best curry houses bizarrely includes none from that country at all, while listing...
