WASHINGTON: The contempt is running both ways between Dan Burton and Janet Reno. After Burton's House Oversight Committee finally voted to cite the attorney general for contempt for refusing to play ball with Burton, Reno was icily defiant at an afternoon Q&A, calling the citation "a form of political tampering that no prosecutor in America can accept." In this case, the tampering shouldn't run very deep. The full House would have to endorse any contempt citation, and that vote wouldn't come at least until September. The next stop? Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder, who would supervise...
WASHINGTON: The bullying of the attorney general continues. GOP hammer Dan Burton wants Janet Reno to appoint an independent counsel to tackle Clinton/Gore campaign finance allegations. Failing that, he's asked that the administration turn over two memos to Reno (one by FBI chief Louis Freeh and one by prosecutor Charles LaBella, both of whom agree with Burton).

...count than dollars and cents. It's one thing to measure immunization rates and quite another to determine whether one managed-care group has a better mortality rate for coronary surgery than another. "Even if employers were willing to spend a few dollars more to buy quality," says Janet Corrigan, director of health-care services at the Institute of Medicine in Washington, "there is really no way to identify it in the marketplace...
This takes some getting used to. The big company I work for shall remain nameless, but it is a software manufacturer located in a suburb of Seattle. (Hint: the Janet Reno fan club has been disbanded.) This company prides itself on being different from other big companies, and it probably is in some ways. (Are there bare feet in the cafeteria at Procter & Gamble?) But maybe it is less different than it thinks...
