Yet little action was taken until September 1998, after new Energy Secretary Bill Richardson arrived, another glaring delay that officials lamely ascribe to "bureaucratic inertia." Last week more than 80 members of Congress demanded that Clinton dismiss the National Security Adviser for "failing in his responsibility...
