Reno and Holder, a hard-charging prosecutor who took office as Reno's No. 2 just two months ago, are deeply concerned about frequent clashes among FBI agents and task-force lawyers, led by LAURA INGERSOLL of the department's Public Integrity section. Ingersoll, a veteran of the achingly deliberative Public Integrity culture, favors the time-tested tactic of starting with small players--the Buddhist nuns, for example--and working up to bigger ones.

This would be the fifth to find work investigating various transgressions alleged against top Clinton Administration officials.

...former real estate saleswoman, widow of a judge and mother of a prosecutor, Mary Ann Downs had far more financial and legal acumen than most aging fraud victims. Even so, con artists had little trouble scamming her out of $74,000. Why? How? Her story is a classic study in what makes fraud against elderly people, especially women, one of the biggest growth industries in America. Con men are bilking the elderly out of $40 billion a year, by one FBI estimate...
