The NYT Sunday magazine tomorrow has a longish article on the federal Witness Protection Program. It traces in detail one family's entry, the arrangements for the "death" of the old identity and the new "birth," and describes the unsettling nymity transformation. It also lays out the ballooning cost of a program once thought to be relatively cheap. Some techno stuff about carefully orchestrated communication between the relocated family and relatives. Is everyone in the galaxy still able to get free and easy access to the NYT Web site at: http://www.nytimes.com ?
