The enigmatic and reclusive Ayatollah Sistani
At the World's Greatest Newspaper (not!) the reporter writes the story, and an editor writes the headline, and sometimes the twain don't meet.
Take for example Edward Wong's story, where the headline reads "Iraq's Path Hinges on Words of Enigmatic Cleric." Well, in the story it turns out Sistani is so enigmatic that he has a website, www.sistani.org, and if you want his ruling on, say, anal sex, you can go there and get it. (I mention this only because this subject is right up there at the top of the Q&A section, falling as it does under the As. Nothing under S for santorum, though.)
Sigh...
