But some embarrassing ones got out last week when a computer disc carrying White House political adviser Karl Rove's analysis of the 2002 elections was accidentally dropped in the streets of Washington and picked up by a surprised Democratic Senate staffer.

...people in the magazine's Boston-area office of the relationship. "She was having fun," says a staff member. "She didn't raise any ethical concerns. She was on Cloud 9." At one point, she reportedly flaunted an expensive bracelet--a gift from Welch. "Much to our discredit," the staffer says, "no one came forward to challenge her the way we should have." Kiechel has organized a task force to clarify guidelines about author- subject fraternization.
