They’ve approached Dartboard’s desk many a time, equipped with flashlights and slick uniforms. At the first hint of menacing footsteps, Dartboard frantically scrambles her wrappers together, chucking soda bottles and sandwiches under her chair. But on those sad occasions when Dartboard is caught off guard, a somber patroller pulls out the dreaded paper copy of the library’s food and drink policy, sternly pointing to the illicit goods. They assume, optimistically, that after Dartboard reads those sacred words, she’ll remember to respect the library’s laws...
...dodge the taxi cabs hurtling down Charing Cross Road, hop over the thin, gray puddles and slip through the doors of London's National Portrait Gallery - a slow, steady stream of women shaking the rain from our umbrellas and asking, with just a hint of excitement, for directions to Room 41.

The chairman and CEO of News Corp. is too politic to make such a claim himself, but he tacitly acknowledges its validity. When asked what he has learned about being so powerful in the U.S., he smiles and says, "You make a lot of enemies...
...Couric can grill Hillary Clinton or Bob Dole (so assertively that his wife had to step in and protest), probe delicate emotions with the Columbine families or Elizabeth Smart's parents, giggle excitedly with the dumbest Hollywood star and ogle the hot handbags for spring--all without a hint of strain. Her interviews on Today (the top-rated TV morning show for the past nine years) often set the news agenda for the day, and her hairstyles get picked apart over the water cooler. The unique bond she has with viewers made her campaign against colon cancer an unprecedented success...
