Needing a book to read at the gym this morning, I chose a short novel (novelette?) by Susan Richards Shreve, called "The Train Home", published in 1993 and set in Washington DC and Belfast. It is the story about an Irish actor who masquerades as a priest to confront the British/Irish diplomat who shot and killed the actor's younger brother during a Belfast rally in 1969, and the Texas born housewife/opera singer married to the paraplegic Connecticut Yankee, who has a thing for priests.
It reads very well, and very quickly, and Shreve tells a very good story. I recommend it. Nothing too bad happens, and you get the feeling that things may turn out all right.

Williams' blog offers an unfiltered look at NBC anchor
He was the first anchor to take over a network evening newscast in the 21st century, so it probably was inevitable that Brian Williams would begin channeling his inner gawker by getting his own daily blog.
