Michael Chertoff's office is full of boxes. He's been the nation's Homeland Security chief for 30 days and still he hasn't paused to unpack. There are boxes in the corner, under his desk, stacked in front of the bay window. "They are kind of getting in the way of sitting down," Chertoff says. Not that sitting is a priority. Chertoff speed-walks to meetings where he peppers subordinates with pointed questions and blazes through topics he wants to cover. He has a bad habit, aides joke, of running ahead of schedule.

The tracks led off across a field toward the south of the Lindbergh property, in the opposite direction...
...Locco Ritoro Gallery, on the upper level of the complex, features an exhibition by Utah-based painter Janet Shapero, called “Luminous Passages.” The works resemble paintings, but instead of canvases, Shapero has painted what appears to be window-screening; applying the paint in different thicknesses allows her to let more or less of the screen’s texture come through. The screens are marked by bright colors and rectangular designs, but an all-over marble pattern prevents them from being overly geometric. The exhibit runs through March...
