...Winter 1962. Another 96-pager, with a dozen in color. "Love in the Bible" opened the issue. Allen Ginsberg, who would later protest Ralph Ginzburg's conviction, offered a chatty letter. Frank Harris, author of the social and erotic confession My Life and Loves (which had not yet been legally published in the U.S.), got the biographical treatment. The mood lightened with a couple dozen limericks, familiar to centuries of frat boys. The harlot from Kew, the man from Stamboul and the fellow from Kent all made guest appearances, but not, alas, the hermit named Dave...
Nearly every day now, working from the stand-up desk in his spacious Pentagon E-Ring office, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld pores over a secret document known only to a tight circle of U.S. officials: Deployment Order No. 177. Although it might sound like a one-pager that needs only a quick review, No. 177 is a series of documents, each 10 to 20 pages long, detailing exactly when, how and where Army and Marine battalions, Navy carrier groups and Air Force fighter wings are to be shipped overseas or redeployed for war in Iraq...

We've had an ongoing test with Arbitron [which does ratings research for radio] for a device called a PPM [portable people meter]. It looks like a little pager, and you wear it, and it would allow us to measure television differently than we do today...
...showered DeLay's staff with sports and concert tickets. After Buckham left, Abramoff developed a close relationship with deputy chief of staff Tony Rudy. "For all intents and purposes, Tony worked for Jack," contends a former Abramoff associate, who tells TIME that Abramoff even bought Rudy a text-messaging pager so that they would never be out of touch. Prosecutors allege that Abramoff also funneled payments to Rudy's wife?10 monthly payments totaling $50,000?through a nonprofit. When Rudy left DeLay's staff in 2000, he joined Abramoff at the lobbying firm of Greenberg Traurig. Rudy now works...
