...understandable if you have never heard of David Wu or Molly Bordonaro: neither have half the voters in Oregon's First Congressional District, and both are on the ballot. But while people in western Portland and its environs seem profoundly uninterested in who will represent them come January, the decision is getting plenty of attention in Washington. For the district, home to roughly equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans, is the sort of place that will determine the makeup of the next Congress, and probably with it Bill Clinton's future...
...precincts where Democratic candidates have become leery of appearing with her husband. Wu, for instance, insists he was misquoted in a New York Times story that suggested he would prefer Clinton stay away. But asked whether that means he would like to see the President make a stop in Portland, the lawyer replied, "Didn't say that either." Oregon's Democratic Governor, John Kitzhaber, has put it more bluntly, saying he would decline any offers by the White House to send Clinton into the state.

...Wonderland Club took its name from Lewis Carroll and its alleged clientele from Main Street, U.S.A.--including an engineer from Portland, Maine, a scientist in New Britain, Conn. Other suspected members lived in sleepy towns like Broken Arrow, Okla.; Lawrence, Kans.; and Kennebunk, Maine. And just as the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland had a scandalous predilection for photographing half-clad little girls, these seemingly solid citizens--and as many as 200 other men (and a few women) who belonged to Wonderland--shared an unspeakable secret: the codes to a dark channel in cyberspace. After a raid coordinated...
