How the government's punishing of the exposure of official wrongdoing can linger for years
Portland firefighters cut a hole through concrete and used an air bag and a soapy lubricant to free an Oregon woman who fell and became stuck in a narrow opening between two buildings Wednesday morning.

"She was in good spirits," Lt. Chatman said. "We just tried to reassure her ... we weren't going home without her."
