Reno had claimed she needed Congress to renew the Independent Counsel Act, but that simply was not true. Yesterday, she did what she could have done all along: called for a special prosecutor outside of her department.

Clinton aides observe with some irritation that DAVID GERGEN was slow to defend his boss last month as the Whitewater and Arkansas-trooper stories gathered force. With the arrival of tough New York lawyer Harold Ickes as deputy chief of staff and his designation as leader of the Whitewater damage- control team (of which Gergen is only a member), Gergen now has a strong rival.

They remained partners with Denton's boss McDougal and McDougal's wife Susan, a pair of notorious wheeler-dealers who drove the thrift into the ground at a cost to taxpayers of roughly $50 million. Indeed, several months before bowing out of the S&L dispute over the bad loans, Hillary Clinton actually represented Madison before state regulators in a petition to try to raise capital for the failing thrift by selling stock...
