Thornburgh should be concerned that leaks can ruin ongoing investigations. But to threaten criminal charges is like trying to solve dandruff with decapitation. That Thornburgh is so willing to threaten strident criminal punishments raises serious doubts about his intentions. There are, after all, intradepartmental punishments which can be used against overzealous leakers...

Another chapter is a bartender's manual for some of the most bizarre drinks ever conceived, including an unorthodox mixture of beer, two kinds of shampoo (one anti-dandruff), and insect repellant. The humor ranges from the highly subtle to the truly gross, most of it reasonably well-served by J.R. Dorrell's colloquial translation...
