Sneak Preview

Dennis Hastert surveys a buffet for unsampled itemsA friend of mine who is well-connected at the Washington Post leaked to me an advance copy of Laura Blumenfeld’s next “Off Camera” column. In her last column, Ms. Blumenfeld enthralled readers with her compelling tale of Senate Leader Frist, a stethoscope, a gorilla, a blow-dryer and some “silverback testosterone.” In her next column, which is exclusively previewed here at The American Street1, Ms. Blumenfeld profiles a typical morning in the life of Dennis Hastert.
