...local murder trial. Hard to find anything less personal than that, yet it is precisely this kind of impersonal recounting of some irrelevant bit of news that is often resorted to by distraught lovers who are contending with some strain and who thus choose to recount details from a neutral territory as they wait out a storm that swirls about them." Absent anything more incriminating, however, such as accounts by someone who saw the two having sex or expressions of carnal desire from Lincoln or Speed, it's hard to view the letter as anything other than a description...

...that they see the world--or at least faces--differently.

...powerful will the director be? Republican Senator Susan Collins describes the DNI as the "quarterback," controlling most of the $40 billion spent annually on intelligence, setting priorities among the 15 spy agencies and forcing them to share secrets. So that the director would remain neutral and not become bogged down in operational details, Congress didn't give the DNI control over spying at the CIA and other agencies. But without operational control, the director may be less useful to the President and therefore have less access to him. It will take a close friend of Bush's or someone "very...
