Dear Dairy:

I’m so sick of this Justice Department situation that I made an appointment to see Uncle Dick, who finally had time to see me late yesterday. I asked him if what I’ve been hearing is true: that Alberto has become an endless, energy-draining distraction for the Administration. He said I had it wrong; that Alberto has become an endless, energy-draining distraction from the Administration.

‘That, George, is the power of a preposition,’ he said, with one of those tries at a smile by someone who doesn’t quite know how to do it.
