But Washington's scandal du jour is just one example of the political corruption that the FBI is increasingly uncovering at all levels of government across the country.

...seemed to synchronize more successfully with one other. The latter half of the recital consisted entirely of popular scenes from the Nutcracker: “Snow,” “Spanish Hot Chocolate,” “Arabian Tea,” “Waltz of the Flowers,” “Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy,” and “Coda”—which, strangely enough, was not performed to the traditional music entitled “Coda” or even the final...
