...investigation by Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has simmered out of sight since about the middle of last year, is examining whether Harman and AIPAC arranged for wealthy supporters to lobby House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi on Harman's behalf. Harman said Thursday in a voicemail message that any investigation of - or allegation of improper conduct by - her would be "irresponsible, laughable and scurrilous."

When you're not near a PC, it is very...
...person without a phone," he says. "They don't take that person seriously." That may change, thanks to Project C.A.R.E., a new program run by the San Francisco communications start-up GrandCentral. C.A.R.E. is giving Shelton and hundreds of other homeless people free permanent numbers, which go to voicemail boxes. The plan may be thwarted, though, by the Federal Communications Commission, which is considering a $1 monthly tax on every U.S. phone number.
