I live in a John Le Care novel
On the way to work today I picked up the free Washington Post paper to read on the train. When walking from the train to work it was incredibly cold, so I put my hands in my pockets and had the paper under my arm. I couldn't help but think of all the spy novels where the day old paper folded up under the left/right arm was the signal. Very appropriate when you are about to walk into a secure government building.
