...commercial hospital chain dumped its top management amid a federal Medicare fraud investigation that has seen FBI agents raiding its hospitals for financial records. Federal investigators told TIME that the resignations of founder and chairman Richard Scott and president David Vandewater will in no way reduce their interest in probing the company's practices regarding Medicare billing and its home-care operations. Dr. Thomas Frist Jr., Columbia's vice chairman, announced he would be taking over the posts of chairman and chief executive officer.

Reno allies grumble that the leak seemed aimed at shoring up Freeh's flagging support among congressional Republicans. Freeh allies counter that the leak hurt him more than it did her and must have come from Justice. While the probes are undermining morale and chilling official press contacts, insiders give slim odds that the Justice plumbers will actually catch any leakers. Reason? Nobody...
