Too hot for D.C.

Though I don't often admit this in public (at least not in D.C.), I am a subscriber to Us Weekly--in addition to your wonderful magazine, of course. When I got the May issue in the mail, my first thought was, "Sweet! My Us is two days early!" ("Look Who's Hitched: The Secret Lives of Washington's Power Couples!," by T. A. Frank; "Washington's 60 Sizzlingest Power Couples," by Nick Baumann and Oliver Haydock.) My next thought: "But wait ... Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson? Hey, this is the Washington Monthly!" Then: "'Still smokin'--hilarious." And finally: "Us be damned. I can't wait to dig into the Washington Monthly."

The magazine looks terrific, inside...
