...placate those who suspect a cover-up. On Capitol Hill investigations continue into the matter. In a recent deposition at the House Committee on government oversight, staffers asked Karl Rove's former executive assistant what she knew about the Valerie Plame leak case. After a little thought, the assistant, Susan Ralston, said she had a "vague recollection that [Rove] and Scooter Libby talked about this subject often." Comments like that only strengthen the impression that Libby's obstruction of justice - and Bush's commutation - have left important questions unanswered in the case...
...This may in part because it was Michael Cunningham, author of the book The Hours, another stupefying exercise in unspoken angst, who was hired to punch up the script Susan Minot was trying to make out of her novel.

He has also led breakthrough negotiations on free trade with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Trade Representative Susan Schwab that put in place labor and environmental protections as part of deals the Administration dearly wants to get through Congress. "Students of Congress knew that was exactly how [Rangel] would operate," said the Brookings Institution's Tom Mann...
...Have you ever thought about teaching? -Susan Olson in Vero Beach, FLI don't feel I'm a teacher. Teachers have a certain talent for it. They get a certain pleasure out of it and it means something to them and they give that off. I'm just not that. I've actually never thought about and I don't think I would ever think about it. I just express myself and hope somebody relates to it. I've been around teachers my whole life and when you get around the great ones it's a really magnificent thing...
