...strangest aspect of the denouement was the joint TV interview that occurred with both a revived Tyson and a victorious Lewis in the ring minutes after the fight. Tyson, who had done more than his share of trash-talking before the bout, was suddenly the model of contrition, a veritable Boy Scout. He professed his regard for Lewis ("He knows I love both him and his mother"), said that all his bad-mouthing had only been to hype the fight, and suggested that he'd like a rematch...
...aspect of Washington's aviation-security plan is seriously flawed, and the 39 managers of the country's largest airports have taken the bold step of saying so in a strongly worded joint letter sent last week to Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta. A copy of the letter, obtained by TIME, bluntly takes on the new agency charged with fixing security, the Transportation Security Administration.

...statement is typical Mueller - who, despite his occasional taciturnity, does not hide from responsibility. This week, during his marathon appearances before a closed-door joint congressional committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mueller seemed determined to maintain that lack of defensiveness. He sat quietly while the senators railed at him, and then calmly answered their questions. He was not there to tell us everything had been worked out, only to say that he, and many other people, were trying their darnedest to make things right...
