...Paravicini what his secret is and the answer is simple: "I just listen. And relax." As for what's next, nobody's sure. A documentary filmmaker has been following him around for months, and a movie studio has floated the idea of making a biopic. But as Paravicini starts in on Fats Waller's Ain't Misbehavin', he's oblivious to anything beyond the joy of this moment. Rocking back and forth, a sideways smile on his face, he throws in a cascading scale here, a sneaky chord there, taking the tune as far out as he can before pulling...
...General, who unspooled a vivid tale in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about the night in March 2004 when he raced to the hospital to prevent two top White House aides from taking advantage of his critically ill boss, John Ashcroft, in a dispute over the Administration's secret domestic eavesdropping program. Comey was acting Attorney General while Ashcroft was incapacitated by pancreatitis. Like his boss, Comey had come to believe that President George W. Bush's surveillance program was illegal. The White House wanted it renewed. Comey refused. And so who turned up at Ashcroft's bedside with...

There's only a vigorous draft-Gore movement that he has nothing to do with (two independent websites-draftgore.com and algore.org-have gathered almost 150,000 signatures so far) and, from time to time, social events at which old Gore hands get together and play a few friendly rounds of what...
...People looking for signs that Gore has a secret plan often point to the fact that he has lost a few pounds and hopes to lose many more. They mention that he hasn't asked the draft organizers to stop, the way he did before the 2004 election. They point out that in May, a group of former Gore fund-raisers met at the Washington home of his onetime chief of staff, Peter Knight. (Someone handed out buttons that said Al Gore Reunion 2007, but it was just a social event; Gore didn't attend.) They cite October...
