...recent years the Department of Labor, which enforces ERISA, has softened in this area, going so far as to offer guidelines as to how a company might offer 401(k) advice without running afoul of the rules. But now there's a full-on assault, spearheaded by Republican Congressman John Boehner of Ohio, who in mid-June introduced a bill that seeks to remove a company's liability should an employee take bad advice and lose a bundle. If all goes swimmingly, the bill could reach the President's desk by year...
...Condit-Levy sexual affair-which the Congressman has at last admitted, confirming what the audience already knew and bringing this miniseries-in-progress up to date-savored of many of those high school touches that Greenfield noticed. With Chandra's disappearance, the affair has taken on a contemporary American adolescent's dimension of the dangerous, brushing up against evil possibilities (think of Colombine and other shootings, for example) that would have seemed impossible when I was a high school student in Washington years...
...Norwood hadn't been the only congressman the White House was ignoring. House Republicans hoping to get a jump on the Democrats in their chamber with a patients rights bill weren't getting much attention from the administration either. Republican Rep.

Police and a tour of its "Synchronized Operations Command Center," where tips are processed, the doctor couldn't face the Congressman who had called his daughter a "good friend," then had gone silent about her disappearance. Condit had never told the parents he had received repeated calls from Chandra in late April, just before she went missing from her studio apartment near Dupont Circle. What else hadn't he told them...
...theory of a serial killer (several young women have disappeared from around Dupont Circle). Police have looked for similarities in the death of a government attorney named Joyce Chiang, 28, who was missing for three months before she turned up dead. They found the cases "unrelated." California Congressman Howard Berman, for whom Chiang once worked, moved heaven and earth to help the investigation, even pressuring FBI Director Louis Freeh. Two agents from the bureau's criminal unit are now working on the Levy case...
