...client's running out of his lawyer's office brandishing a gun. But today's practitioners have to deal with HIV-positive clients who say they're going to have sex with people and not tell them about their infection, or they may have corporate clients with plans to dump dangerous toxins.

Jeffords' switch gave Democrats control of the Senate--and promoted Reid from minority to majority whip, a perch he is currently trying to use to block the Bush Administration from putting the nuclear dump in his state. "This is wrong what they're trying to do," insists Reid. Last May, majority leader Tom Daschle flew to Las Vegas to speak at a fund raiser for Reid.
