...snappish disposition and a careless contempt for agency protocol. One of the first things he does is send O'Neill out to steal a new computer from their colleagues down the hall. What begins to emerge, almost inferentially from Cooper's taciturn playing, is a portrait of a sharp knife nestled in drawer full of dull ones. A man this bright should have been on the bureau's fast track. Instead, he's on a side track, chugging along a bureaucratic road to nowhere. Hanssen's fuming impatience with the patronizing doofuses who have held him back is well, even...
Give the folks at NASA this much - they know how to close ranks. Astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak was arrested this week and charged with attempted murder after driving 900 miles from Houston to Orlando, Fla., allegedly carrying a knife, a BB gun, pepper spray, latex gloves and rubber tubing-wearing a diaper all the while so she wouldn't have to stop en route-and assaulting a romantic rival in a parking lot.

Dog skin and innards are made into an appetizer by soaking them in vinegar, garlic and ginger. But dog meat is also roasted, stewed in the sour juice of the sampaloc fruit, or served adobo style - that is, with soy sauce and vinegar...
...beginning of his foreign service career, Frank Carlucci was a passenger in a car that struck and killed a bicyclist. The driver took off, leaving Carlucci facing an angry crowd. There was some pushing and shoving, and before he could be rescued, Carlucci ended up with a knife in his back. Thus when he was appointed last week as President Reagan's new National Security Adviser, Carlucci became the first man to have been stabbed in the back even before he assumed that highly exposed post...
