Limited Hangouts, Roman Circuses, Tour de Pharmacy

A limited hangout refers to a strategy or tactic used in politics or intelligence. It involves revealing only part of the truth about a situation, typically as damage control when a cover story is no longer effective. By selectively disclosing information, the aim is to minimize attention on more damaging or potentially incriminating details. Essentially, it’s like showing a partial hand while keeping the most critical cards hidden.
