...laying bare some wounded pride. But the former deputy chief of staff says his cooperation with Representative Dan Burton's Government Reform and Oversight Committee is not retribution but common sense: he believes it would be easier--and cheaper--to comply with a request for documents than pay his lawyer to cope with a subpoena. That's a plausible explanation from a patrician tightwad who hates to spend money (he sends his old suits out to be rewoven rather than buy new ones). In any case, Ickes draws a line between his treatment by the President and everyone else...
...sources. (McVeigh told TIME in March 1996 that "I've said I'm not guilty.") Still, even if the Dallas notes are authentic, they are covered by attorney-client privilege, and will probably never be entered as evidence. (The privilege protects confidential communications made by a client to a lawyer.) As for Jones, even if he knew, he is not obligated to tell the court of his client's guilt.

His probation officer says he has not done anything to violate the terms of the agreement. Neither Cohen nor his lawyer has returned calls from TIME...
...using them in reporting that the Oklahoma City bombing defendant had confessed to the blast. Jones asked for a federal investigation into the issue, and also said he plans to file a complaint asking the Texas Supreme Court to determine whether reporter Pete Slover, who is also a lawyer, should be disbarred. Jones also is considering seeking a 90-day ?cooling off? delay in the trial, which was scheduled to begin on March 31. If the newspaper publishes more stories from the documents, Jones said he'll seek to move the trial out of Denver, where it was previously relocated...
