...individual conversations are just one part of what the spy agency can do. It also has the technology to perform data mining, combing by computer through billions of phone calls and Internet messages and looking for patterns that may point to terrorist activity. That requires sifting through a mountain of individual communications to find the one that might lead to something. Under FISA, the NSA would have to obtain a warrant for each suspect phone number.

Others appear overambitious failures, until you look further. The monumental Portrait of a Woman (1895) is one of several Rousseaus bought by Picasso. It might seem a clumsy copy of a commercial photograph, until you notice the woman's hand holding an upturned, withered branch, and beyond the balcony...
