...Veasey has a studio in an old radar station lined with a foot of lead and equipped with an industrial scanner 60 times as powerful as medical ones. But to make a life-size X ray of a Boeing 777 for Boston's Logan Airport in 2003, even that wasn't enough - he needed artistic ingenuity too. Over several months, he digitally stitched together 500 separate X-rays of the plane. The resulting picture is exquisite and gets beneath the surface of every detail.

As evidence, he offered his own 2006 reelection over challenger and former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Lynn Swann: "Had Lynn Swann been the identical candidate that he was-well-spoken, charismatic, good-looking-but white instead...
...credit cards for a brief period of time. These and other tactics are almost always employed at one time or another by most presidential operations to get through tight spots. But the debts tend to be short-lived and modest, rarely exceeding a few million dollars. While the exact size of Clinton's debt has fluctuated, Democratic party officials say, hers remains above the norm in size for a campaign at this stage of a race...
