Reynolds also faces a federal probe into allegations that he diverted campaign funds toward personal...
...took 11 days in jail, the threat of a contempt charge and finally a broad grant of immunity for Beverly Heard to testify against Congressman Mel Reynolds at his sexual-misconduct and obstruction-of-justice trial. Once on the stand, Heard took back a previous recantation and testified that the Illinois Democrat began having frequent sex with her when she was 16 and that he often paid her as much as $100 for the encounters.

He first produced the draft of his proposal last March during secret (but White House-sanctioned) meetings with Democratic Congressman Bill Richardson at Karadjordjevo, a presidential hunting lodge in northern Serbia. Richardson had been invited by Milosevic to pass on to Washington an offer of cooperation, but the Congressman was tasked by the Administration to take the occasion to urge Milosevic to use his muscle to prevent the Croatian Serbs from...
