...TIME has learned that the next morning, even after the withdrawal talk had leaked and set off a political firestorm, Torricelli considered staying in. "He was raring to go," says one insider. And Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, who wanted Torch (the Senator's nick name) to stay in, told him to "count to 10" before making a decision. But by 1:30 PM in a conference call with Daschle, Corzine, and McGreevey, Torch came back to his original inclination to withdraw. And so, with a blue felt tip pen on a yellow legal pad, he wrote his farewell speech...

The pact is sealed in a mysterious ceremony in a dream, during which the Lord, appearing as a smoking torch, puts himself formally under oath. He requires a different acknowledgment from Abraham: he must inscribe a sign of the Covenant on his body, initiating the Jewish and Muslim customs of circumcision.

The charge of soft-on-terror is over the top. Besides, there's no need to pour gasoline on the Torch when he keeps burning himself...
...beer chaser after your bath, there's the Hanezawa Beer Garden in Hiroo. Built on an old estate, the torch-lit outdoor bar is the ideal place to sit and sip an ice-cold brew under the stars. From there it's a quick cab ride to the sleek new Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel in Shibuya, one of the city's shopping and restaurant hubs. The hotel features 21st century touches (web-enabled flat-screen TVs) and stunning views as far as Mount Fuji. Did I mention the marble baths...
