People streamed obediently out of the Hart Building but one exit was blocked by a guard who said he was following orders, creating a small panic. Afterwards, Lt. Dan Nichols of the Capitol Police said, "It was a mistake, simple as that." They?re not quite ready for the new dangers and have set up with the attending physician, architect, and leadership the Legislative Emergency Preparedness Task Force, which had not completed its recommendations by the time the FBI urged everyone into a state...

(done pizzicato by violins here), the release from "This Little Girl of Mine" and a Don Costa-like mixed chorus, with women singing the heavenly-choir "ooo"s and men answering this siren call with a goofy but musically beguiling "wadda-wadda." Darin?s vocal is much more assured, as if he?d just learned not only how to sing, but why. He wrote a sweet song about pining, and it still sounds fabulous...
