But so far the committee's Democratic chairman, Donald Riegle of Michigan, has said he would rather let the Justice Department's investigation run its course. In the same vein, Attorney General Janet Reno rejected calls last week for her to appoint a special counsel to take over her department's investigations into Guaranty.

"Stuff happens," Rumsfeld said, when asked about the looting in Baghdad at an April 11, 2003, press conference...
...believe in the Big Bang. We believe in incremental stages to find a solution." DONALD TSANG, Hong Kong's Chief Executive, explaining during his North America visit last week that Hong Kong would need time to develop democratic institutions, despite calls for universal suffrage in the territory...
