Dear Friends: Paging through the Hooters employee handbook, we learned that the "essence" of the restaurant chain's "concept" is "entertainment through female sex appeal, of which the LOOK is a key part."

In 1998, FAA investigators warned that Osama bin Laden's henchmen could "seek to hijack a commercial jet and slam it into a U.S. landmark." It seems the early warnings just keep on getting earlier: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0914051faa1.html New prize contest has started, so enter now for a shot at some fine loot, including Bob Woodward's new book and a documentary on the most famous adult film ever (we'd use the flick's name, but some e-mail filters will dump this newsletter). Right this way, folks: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/contest/contest.html New episode of Smoking Gun TV airs Tuesday night at 11 PM (e/p) on Court TV.
