As a career prosecutor, Mueller gained some experience in terrorism investigations--he supervised the Pan Am 103 bombing indictments. But he has not said what he will do to improve the FBI's human-intelligence gathering to target Islamic radicalism; the bureau desperately needs informants who can blend into, say, Muslim communities...

We also have our songwriters. In the glory days of Tin Pan Alley, so-called songpluggers used to accost vaudeville vocalists, pushing them to perform their new compositions in hopes that they would make them into hits. New York is still just as aggressive, just as hungry, when it comes to songwriting. If Sting (who has an apartment in New York) could...
