Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

This four-part series from The Washington Post delves into the "largely hidden and little-understood role" that Dick Cheney plays in the Bush White House. ("Angler" is the Secret Service code name for Bush's second-in-command.) Offering photos, video, an annotated cast of characters, and quotes from a range of D.C. power brokers, this multimedia package returns from its biographical deep-dive with a cache of scintillating details: What did the newly elected vice president say to Dan Quayle at a meeting intended to give the Wyoming politician the lay of the land? How did Cheney react as the second tower fell on September 11? And why did the nation's V.P. once call the 19th-ranking official in the Interior Department? No other vice president has wielded the power of his office so fully. Regardless of your opinion of the man, you will surely find something fascinating—and entirely new—in this series.
