...accident which killed a 16-year-old girl in Washington this past January. The decision, made by Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze, clears the way for the arrest of George Makharadze who police say was drinking and apparently speeding before the crash. Early reports indicate the Justice Department may indict the diplomat on charges of involuntary manslaughter. State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns commended the Georgian government's decision, calling the waiver "courageous" and rare in the annals of diplomatic history.

The documents show that Ickes was worried in early 1994 that Whitewater investigators might squeeze Clinton's friends for information and then indict them. But Ickes lawyer, Robert Bennett, said that's all investigators will find, telling reporters that there are "no smoking guns; there is no wrongdoing revealed on anyone's part." With funding for his investigation set to run out on February 29, D'Amato chose to disagree, and said...
