TIME.com: A Steamy Spy Scandal at the State Department -- Page 1: (FULL ARTICLE)

Few occasions are more sensitive than a visit to the U.S. of a foreign head of state, and few such events during the Bush years have been as closely watched as Chinese leader Jiang Zemin's visit to the President's Texas ranch in 2002.
