...diminishing dream. Gingrich looked to Monica as his deliverance from having to come up with a new, new Republican revolution. Oh, the eager, summer-in-Washington look of her, the goofy beret, those chubby cheeks. And a presidential embrace was even captured on videotape! At last all that heat he endured for shutting down the government was paying off: interns had to fill in for paid staff, and one of them wore thong underwear...

Yet the complex and costly devices ($2 million or more per plane) require a web of wires from each seat to central computers, which generate a lot of heat. The question is whether the system--approved by the Federal Aviation Administration but installed only aboard Swissair jets--could have generated enough heat to trigger the disaster. Salvage crews have pulled up evidence of heat damage above the ceiling that straddles the cockpit and first-class cabin, which is where...
