Cheney, Shrinking From View, Still Looms Large Did he spend his Thanksgiving in his "secure and undisclosed location" or in the sleekly redecorated Naval Observatory, the vice president's official residence that has taken on the characteristics of an armed camp? His staff did not want to say. But one thing is certain: In a nation where vice presidents have always complained about being invisible, Mr. Cheney really is. And yet, he has turned his disappearing act on its head. The more invisible he becomes, the more powerful he seems. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/26/politics/26LETT.html
