...privacy and fair play--and that he treated the prosecutors like reporters at a press conference, ignoring their questions when it suited him, making sure to get his message out. "He just did it again," says one conservative House Democrat, marveling at a politician who is extremely hard to kill...
Back then, the Pentagon was confronting some hard choices. After 14 years of shrinking defense outlays, it faced a $270 billion annual budget that would just keep pace with inflation.
