The Pentagon put about 50 Joint Staff members on polygraphs in a leak hunt. [1] The New York Times filed the tests on Sept. 4. [1] Tuesday has no new named round in fetched copy. A prior hunt is not a new wave. Print dormant. Do not print a second round.

Leave a named new round to the edition that owns a named new round. Silence from a spokesman is not a cleared staff. Print dormant. Print not a second wave.

Print dormant. Tuesday is not a second polygraph wave. Fifty Joint Staff tests remain a Sept. 4 file. Leave a named new round to later. Print dormant as the named Tuesday hold. Theater remains a later Conversation word if dated later. Print dormant as Tuesday's named leak-hunt hold.
