Congressman from Indianapolis insists he wants to make a fresh start in January, when he will take command of the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, the panel that does most of the investigating when the White House is accused of wrongdoing. Burton, 58, promises he will be able to assume the mantle of sober, judicious leadership as committee chairman. "Just give me a chance to do the job," he pleads...
