CRAIG S LONG service to the citizens of Idaho will be lost to history, replaced by a tawdry episode in a Minneapolis airport bathroom just three months ago. It never crossed my mind that Craig might have his hands in other men s pants; I was more interested in whether his hands were in industry pockets.
