...aide recalled atSenate Whitewater hearingstoday. It was the first Senate airing of Reno's Whitewater worries. Earlier, Senate Whitewater committee chairman Al D'Amato (R-N.Y.) rebuffed a junior colleague's demand that Hillary Rodham Clinton be called before the panel. TIME Daily reported exclusively on Monday that GOP senators would ask that Mrs. Clinton be called to testify on whether she played any role in the removal of papers from Foster's office immediately after his 1993 suicide. "I certainly have no intention of calling her before this committee," D'Amato said when the hearings convened today. "There...
...alone if necessary," he declared at a speech to delegates of Boys Nation, a high school good-government program in which he once took part. "There are a lot of things being done here which will violate and undermine our chances to achieve common ground."

Reaction from his GOP presidential rivals was mixed: while Sen. Phil Gramm applauded the move, and Sen. Bob Dole said nothing, Sen. Arlen Specter heatedly criticized Wilson for using the word "tribalism" in discussing racial preference programs. "Coded racial epithets such as 'tribalism' have no place in public debate," said Specter. "They only serve...
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, who would be the oldest president ever to assume the office if elected next year, has launched a pre-emptive strike on younger rivals who just can't resist sniping at his age. The GOP frontrunner's campaign has released a medical report that says he's in excellent shape for a man who will turn 72 Saturday -- with clear lungs and a normal heart and pulse, with good blood pressure and cholesterol kept in a normal range by medication. But is that enough? "Dole and his campaign are trying to be aggressive and proactive...
