...have driven deep into the CIA's backyard, chewing up its closely guarded turf and trying to bring the agency under their grip. In April Hayden let it be known that his office would be taking over the critical job of terrorism analysis--connecting the dots in all the raw data gathered on terrorists--a role the CIA had jealously guarded for decades. In an unusual public speech, Hayden likened the CIA's slow-to-change attitude about roles and missions to "crowding the ball."

There were playful, brown-sugar-encrusted lumps of tuna tartare, amazing little shrimps on toasts, and a “chocolate pate” with ultra-dense mousse topped by a berry-flavored gelee. The raw oysters were the sole misstep; I don’t know if it was the particular mollusk I chose, but it had a funkily “off” aftertaste. I apologize for the lack of appetizer and drink names or prices; Om’s publicity department...
