...former Army captain who parlayed his military credentials and tough-love tactics into a career as the go-to dog trainer for America's élite; of cancer; in West Palm Beach, Fla. A favorite of David Letterman's--Haggerty appeared on his show more than 20 times--he ran Captain Haggerty's School for Dogs, whose graduates performed on TV soaps and in 150 films and worked as bomb sniffers and emergency rescuers...

Reed first denied he used gambling funds for his lobbying efforts, then stated he didn't know the source of the funds, then said had he known he would not have accepted them, which ran counter to e-mails between him and Abramoff released by the U.S. Senate's Indian Affairs Committee. Then a week before the election, a tribe in Texas filed a federal lawsuit alleging fraud against the pair. In TV ads Reed continued to blame the "liberal media," but for long stretches in the campaign...
