...Burlesque is not the only stripping-inspired phenomenon to find mainstream acceptance.

He was racking up computer security violations, experiencing fits of anger and paranoia, spending more than he made and proselytizing even as he was carrying on a relationship with a stripper and posting lurid fantasies in Internet sex chat rooms. The new unit, says Senser, will try to figure out "what makes the person tick - why these things are happening." Had anyone really seen Hanssen's quirks, says Senser, and had called attention to them, the former agent might have been polygraphed, sent...
