...Palins were staying with Sarah's in-laws Bob and Blanche Kallstrom when the soon-to-be-ex-governor of Alaska sat down for an interview. The Kallstroms are two of the 2,500 full-time residents of Dillingham, Alaska, and owners of the Bristol Bay Inn and a hardware store. The town's population swells to 7,000 in the summer, as it's a magnet for sport fishermen. Todd Palin grew up in a house across the street from the hardware store - a building that has since been "moved," Blanche says, to make way for another building...
...exaggeration. As a prosecutor and Justice Department official in the 1970s and '80s, Giuliani had many successes - against white collar criminals and the Mafia.

Or was there, as former New York field office chief James Kallstrom suggests, a serious psychological kink in Hanssen's brain? "For an FBI agent to be a traitor, to sell out his family, his country, his children, is unbelievable," says Kallstrom. "There's something really wrong in how he processes information that we didn't pick...
...foreseen that kind of jumpiness. Three weeks ago, James Kallstrom, who led the FBI's dogged investigation into possible missile and bomb attacks on Flight 800, ruled out those possibilities, and last Tuesday he announced his retirement to private life. The disaster was now officially an accident, and the major drama at the safety-board hearings was expected to be the reactions of some 100 relatives of victims, invited as observers. Indeed, after bravely perusing transcripts from the plane's cockpit voice recorder (the captain at one point noted the plane was climbing especially fast, like a "homesick angel...
