...Palfrey's phone records that led to problems for prominent Washington figures once her prosecution got under way. She had thousands of pages, including 10,000 to 15,000 numbers of clients calling in to her California residence. Besides Sen. Vitter, others whose names appeared on those records included Randall Tobias, a senior State Department official in charge of foreign aid - who had publicly inveighed against prostitution and who quickly resigned after his name was made public. Harlan Ullman, a well-known military specialist at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, was also identified...

...Decision ’08” coverage. Can you hear Middle America yawning, too? The stakes need (re-)raising, and this hackneyed political narrative could do with a bit of novelty.For example, take the cover of the May 5 issue of Time that features half of Sen. Clinton’s face, half of Sen. Obama’s, and the phrase, “There can only be one.” Despite being a nervy rip-off of both recent advertisements for the NBA playoffs and the 1986 film “Highlander...
