...question of whether Rove will pay the price for his role in the Plame debacle? Rove is a political strategist who knows precisely what to say - or not to say - to keep himself out of hot water. He knew exactly what he was doing with his campaign of innuendo and rumor. Unfortunately, somebody else is going to end up taking the fall for Rove's vindictiveness.

I thought it was unfair and unbalanced reporting of a complex and important issue. TIME readers deserve better. Louis F. Bantle, Chairman U.S. Tobacco Greenwich, Conn...
After Healey's picture was shown, Dolan called him "a longtime apologist for the Soviet Union, who himself was a member of the Communist Party. I think that would have been significant to point out in the story." This nasty McCarthyite innuendo went unchallenged on Today. The "significant" thing that Dolan did not say about Healey is that as Defense Minister from 1964 to 1970 he earned the enmity of the British Left as a wholehearted supporter of the Western alliance.
