'Integrity' Tops Web Dictionary's Lookups

An AP newswire article by Adam Gorlick, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Filibuster. Refugee. Tsunami. Each was among the dictionary publisher's 10 most frequently looked-up words among some 7 million users of its online site.

But topping the list is a word that some say gives insight into the country's collective concern about its values: Integrity.
