So he hollered across the newsroom that Foley had invited him over, but he wasn't sure of the Congressman's intentions so he'd only go if I would join him. It was a chance to engage in some source development and perhaps some amateur anthropology. You hang out in some strange situations as a journalist. It might even be fun. We headed over...
