...seven-plus years that the crime has languished unsolved, the 2001 murder of Chandra Levy, a 24-year-old intern in the Federal Bureau of Prisons, has become Washington, D.C.'s best-known cold case. But the trail heated up this week, with Levy's parents and law enforcement sources indicating an arrest was imminent. The likely suspect: Ingmar Guandique, a 27-year-old Salvadoran immigrant currently serving time for assaulting two women in the spring and summer of 2001 in the same park where Levy's remains were found. Guandique had also been implicated in the murder...
Avid followers of the case were incredulous that the body lay less than 100 yards from the park's trail.

Since then, their music has been received with less than tepid ethusiasm. Some say that it was because they signed with Interscope. Some say that it was because Neil Busch, bassist and electro-noise maker, left the band. Some say that “Source Tags & Codes” was so perfect that anything that came after it would naturally pale in comparison. Whatever...
...Sometimes the last thing that an anonymous author wants is to remain unidentified.”Anonymity returned to literature in 1996, once again as a political strategy, with the publication of “Primary Colors.” The book followed the campaign trail of Jack Stanton—governor, adulterer, and Democratic contender for the American presidency–in short, the real life story of Bill Clinton. Anonymity, in this case, implicitly suggested a narrative candor and incited a media frenzy to discover the writer. It also kept the book on the bestseller list.These thoroughly-researched...
