...Russell sent a letter informing Northeast that because "certain of your activities may have been conducted in violation of license requirements," the NRC was considering penalties. In an extraordinary move, Russell demanded a complete review of every system at Millstone 1, with the results "submitted under oath," to prove that every part of the plant is safe--the global examination Galatis asked for two years ago. The results, Russell wrote, "will be used to decide whether or not the license of Millstone Unit 1 should be suspended, modified or revoked...

Korshak was never indicted, but "a message from him," a prominent mobster once testified under oath, "is a message from...
...exonerate her, to say that he never pressured David Hale into giving her that $300,000 loan. But what they want to avoid at all costs is to have Clinton take the stand and be cross-examined by Kenneth Starr. If that would happen, Starr could ask him under oath anything related to the investigation. The wording of the order from U.S. District Judge George Howard, Jr. gives the President an opening to avoid live testimony. In any case, it's highly unlikely that you'd see the President flying down to Little Rock to testify in person." Having pursued...
