...them, therefore, an independent counsel is doubly attractive--not only to chase the President but also to cut off any other inquiries. Some Republicans are even thinking of invoking an obscure clause of the independent-counsel statute that would require Janet Reno to start a separate investigation into whether a counsel is needed if a majority of either party on the Senate Judiciary Committee provides its own list of possible criminal charges. If she cannot refute the charges within 30 days, she has 60 days to investigate the case for appointing one. During all that time, Reno would be required...

I used to wish that I had been...
Harvey Weinstein has his own definition of independence. "It has always meant independent of the seven major studios," says Harvey, "and that's how we operate. Disney is our big daddy or rich uncle. Basically, they're our bank. You can say Disney or you can say Chase Manhattan." Miramax has the freedom to run its business so long as it works within budget guidelines and doesn't buy movies rated NC-17. "A hundred-percent freedom," says Disney CEO Michael Eisner. "They're completely autonomous. And they should be. They keep their costs down and their ideas up. They...
