...noted in a number of documents amassed by the FBI and other law-enforcement officers over the years, but no officials realized they were technically--and thus figuratively--"hot" until the press started calling around a month ago. Reno's foes are already sharpening their barbs. House Republicans like Dan Burton, who have seen her as Clinton's protector through various scandal probes, have always relished pitting her against her rival, FBI director Louis Freeh. Though overlooking the troublesome pyrotechnic fact is actually the fault of Freeh's bureau, watch for the G.O.P. to place the blame on Reno. Already...

Another Berkeley team, led by SETI veteran Dan Werthimer, is looking for short, powerful laser bursts in a series of automated observations of 2,500 nearby stars. Later he plans to turn to invisible infrared light and other galaxies...
...Those skeptics include the lawyers bringing a wrongful-death suit against the government, backwoods militia types (who love to talk about a tape that supposedly shows the FBI using a flamethrower on the compound) and of course Republicans. Thursday, with Republican supersleuth Dan Burton champing at the bit in the House, and Senate FBI watchdog Charles Grassley calling Coulson?s admission "a serious development in terms of further erosion of the FBI's credibility," a suitably peeved Attorney General Janet Reno hurried to get the official ducks back in a row.
