...Teresa in a scathing book. The sharp-elbowed Blumenthal made enemies as a rabidly pro-Clinton journalist, and even more as the Clintons' lofty--some would say supercilious--ambassador to the White House press corps. But the real question is Who's winning? Hitchens took an early lead. His wife Carol Blue (who is--surprise!--a Washington writer) offered an affidavit saying she was also at the lunch and backing her husband's account.

Intelligent and family-oriented, Rania took child-psychology courses in school and was an honors student in business administration at the American University in Cairo. She had two children in their first three years of marriage but is hardly a submissive wife. She likes to hang out at Amman's first Internet cafe and take spins with Abdullah on his Harley-Davidson. Throw in Rania's support for Jordanian charities and causes like child-abuse awareness, and you start to see a figure much like Princess Diana. But Rania has good relations...
