...simplest, yet most outrageous, frauds ever. The front of our book is now also filled with lively, amusing and often irreverent takes on the news, an effort led by Anthony Spaeth, our Senior Writer/Editor who recently relocated to Hong Kong from New Delhi.

Widely considered the Democrats' most capable wordsmith, he wrote Ted Kennedy's soaring "the dream shall never die" speech for the 1980 convention as well as the Senator's eulogy for John F. Kennedy Jr.'s funeral last summer. But Shrum is just as well known for hitting hard. In debate rehearsals, he plays the moderator while former...
