...Jessica Foschi, who had tested positive for a steroid, Evans objected that the team was throwing away its moral right to object, for instance, to drug use by the Chinese. And then a pint-size, cheeky 15-year-old named Brooke Bennett, who reminded some people of a younger Janet Evans (and who beat Evans soundly in the 400 free in May 1995), began to make chirping noises that sounded a lot like bragging.

White House press secretary Mike McCurry said the Administration would welcome an outside investigation, and hoped that it would "shut up" GOP critics. Reno's decision to assign an independent prosecutor will deflect GOP allegations that the White House is influencing the investigation, says TIME's Jay Carney. In addition, Starr, Reno...
