In Washington Whispers: Bookworms, pack rats--nation's secret warriors, the newsweekly U.S. News & World Report reports how the Librarian of Congress, James Billington, has aided the government in tracking down al Qaeda. It's a short piece, but it's interesting.
U.S. News, by the way, has implemented an RSS feed, meaning that I can now easily blog news items from the mag. Hats off to Jenny Levine for pointing it out.
