• Sister to Sister; After Surviving an Attempted Kidnapping, a Young Journalist in Iraq and Her Twin Back Home Share War Stories.

[Jenny]: "There was always a struggle to get more emotion out of [Jackie Spinner]'s stories. We're both writers, but at some point there's always a fork in the road--she's the reporter and I'm the essayist. Toward the end of the process my husband, who witnessed the struggle, said, 'There still isn't enough Jackie in this,' but on the other hand someone recently came up to Jackie in the newsroom and said, 'Wow, I can't believe how much of yourself you put out there.' I also didn't know I had 12 or 13 chapters' worth of material. It was like, how many different ways can you look at a blackbird? How many ways can I say I miss my sister? Jackie: "Don't ever speak English in public. It would not only endanger me but also the Post's Iraqi staff if people realized they're working for us. The...

• U.S. Soldier Rebuts Biased Media

The victims of [Saddam Hussein] were overshadowed by media reports about terror-apologizing "human rights" activists decrying the "show trial." Meanwhile, journalists complained about courtroom security procedures. "I'm not even allowed to take a notebook and a pen with me into the court," CBS correspondent Lara Logan told "The Early Show." And Washington Post reporter Jackie Spinner was irked by accusations of bias. "When you're the media in Iraq, [American...

• "The Client(s) of a Corporate Lawyer"

Introduction. II. Six Realities Facing Corporate Lawyers Today. 1. Lawyers' problems and challenges are not understandable apart from understanding the world experienced by the lawyers' clients. 2. Many interests are enmeshed in the activities of any substantial corporate entity and are affected by its decisions and its success or failure. 3. Today's corporate clients operate in a world much different than that of even a quarter-century ago. 4. Lawyers too often hide behind the idea that they need only consult the person who has authority to speak for the corporate client. 5. The ideas I have asserted up to this point have been implicit in the ABA Model Rules since 1983, and in some cases, in the Model Code even before 1983. 6. The recent federal Sarbanes-Oxley legislation and its a...

• An Intimate, Inside Look at Covering War

A restless, early-30s Washington Post business reporter who didn't speak Arabic but had covered some Iraq-related stories, she talked editors into sending her to the Abu Ghraib court-martials, expecting a couple-week tour. An added twist is that Spinner's twin sister, Jenny, a professor at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, writes a postscript to each chapter, movingly conveying the anxieties of the family left behind.

• Gardener's House Joins Mount Vernon Restoration ; Finishes Decades-Long Project

WASHINGTON A stack of leather-bound gardening books sat on a simple wooden desk in the middle of a small room. Two broad-brimmed hats, one for winter and one for summer, hung on pegs in the corner. In the bedroom, a pair of shoes lay at the foot of the bed, as if the gardener had just stepped out of them. With the restoration of a two-story pine structure used by one of George Washington's gardeners, William Spence, Mount Vernon is again complete nearly 209 years after the first president died.
