...Ramseys' investigation has been regarded skeptically by many, who see it as an attempt by the affluent couple to deflect attention from themselves or to win sympathy from a jury pool if either or both are charged with their daughter's murder. But Haddon told TIME the probe has elicited nine "substantial, credible leads," all tied to suspects who are not John or Patsy Ramsey. None of these leads are yet strong enough to hand over to the Boulder authorities, Haddon said. But he insisted that the investigation is not a hedge against possible criminal indictments.

Clinton lawyer Bob Bennett, constrained by politics from delving into PAULA JONES' sexual history as he prepares for a possible trial in her harassment suit, intends to probe what he asserts was Jones' real motive for coming forward: money.

But a high-ranking FBI official derided as "ludicrous" any notion that Scott's departure will end the government's probe...
RAMALLAH, West Bank: A panel of Palestinian legislators has called for the heads of Yasser Arafat's entire Cabinet after finding plenty rotten in the operation of the would-be state. The probe, initiated by the state comptroller's office, also recommended that three ministers stand trial for diverting $1.5 billion in contributions from international donors and mismanaging the Palestinian autonomy government's $800 million annual budget, often for personal gain. Arafat's spokesman punted, claiming that the findings simply justified plans for a Cabinet reshuffle. Hold on there, cowboy. "The mismanagement starts from...
