Peterson runs in a traditionally Republican district for a seat being vacated by nine-term G.O.P. incumbent Bill Clinger. The son of a steel worker, Peterson opened a grocery store with his brother in 1958 and maintained it until 1984, when he decided to become a politician. He also wants lower taxes and a balanced budget. And with the endorsement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Peterson is a solid candidate...
Representative Bill Clinger, chairman of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee investigating Filegate, indicated that based on news reports (namely the diary excerpts of call girl Sherry Rowlands in the Star) he will seek either a voluntary deposition or a sworn interrogatory statement from Morris concerning the political consultant's alleged claim that Hillary Clinton was behind the improper review of 900 confidential FBI files...
...recruiting volunteers to dress up in chicken costumes and taunt George Bush. When the "Chicken George" story broke last week, Republicans behaved as if this kind of cheap political theater were a crime against democracy. "I question the need for such a dirty-tricks operation," said Pennsylvania Republican William Clinger, the House committee chairman investigating the Livingstone flap.

Tell the committee: What did the President know about Chicken George, and when...
...LEAKING CAN BACKFIRE. By holding back key information, Republicans tried to capitalize on the Administration's utterly confusing explanations about who hired Livingstone. (The White House pinned the deed on the late Vince Foster, for example, when Livingstone himself testified that he'd never met Foster.) Last week William Clinger sent an outraged letter to Clinton suggesting that George Stephanopoulos had been responsible for the hire. As evidence, he pointed to a 1994 letter from Livingstone to Stephanopoulos that requested that Livingstone be considered for a job as director of the White House Military Office, the outfit that looks after...
...Clinger who uncovered Filegate as he sought to get to the bottom of Travelgate. His committee had been seeking 3,000 pages of White House documents related to the travel office. The committee managed last month to reel in 1,000 of those pages, which contained the first evidence of the latest escapade. Clinger is threatening to hold the White House in contempt if it does not release the next 2,000 pages. The Clintons may be wondering whether another Livingstone is lurking among those dusty documents. Or they may already know...
