...wrong. I'm not a chauvinistic New Yorker. That Woody Allen superciliousness thing is old hat - and was wrong-headed to begin with. I despise the smugness of New Yorkers who think they live in the center of the universe, who think that all knowledge resides on this little island.

Bush, the son of the man who waged the Persian Gulf War. The FBI's crisis command center is operating 24-7, with agents working through the Christmas and New Year's holidays.
