...weeks in the office of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy ’54-’56 (D-Mass.), I’ve done a fair share of all sorts of office jobs. I’ve copied, stamped, faxed, filed, called, stapled, collated, stuffed, sealed, slacked, typed and slept. I haven’t forgotten a cover sheet to a TPS report, but I have botched other relatively simple tasks. I’ve had to put up with a Milton-like character who may actually one day set the Russell Senate Office Building on fire if he doesn?...
...performed admirably. I can't even recall who won. I'm sure the Sox didn't. But, again, who cares? The game was followed by not one but two rides on the Swan Boats in the Public Gardens, then ice cream sundaes at Bailey's.

...restaurant as someone outside secretly watched. A taxi ride to a nearby market followed. On the far side of the market, a second cab was ready to drive to the safe house on the city's dusty outskirts. The two-bedroom apartment looked scarcely lived in.

...returned from school to find police surrounding his home.

Last December, when a labor-camp sentence seemed certain, the mother entrusted her son to other practitioners, kissed him goodbye and fled. "We talked on the phone last month for about a minute," he mumbles...
Last Thursday night, more than a month after the intern named Chandra Levy vanished from Washington, California Representative Gary Condit traveled to the Jefferson Hotel (yep, Dick Morris slept there) to meet with Levy's parents and their attorney, Billy Martin (yep, he represented Monica Lewinsky's mother). The meeting lasted about 20 minutes and did not include Dr. Robert Levy. Dazed during an earlier meeting with the D.C. Police and a tour of its "Synchronized Operations Command Center," where tips are processed, the doctor couldn't face the Congressman who had called his daughter a "good friend," then...
