Attorney General JANET RENO is especially steamed over the stories last month that FBI Director LOUIS FREEH had advised her to seek a special prosecutor to probe possible campaign-finance-law violations by Democratic fund raisers. 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...
WHITE PLAINS, New York: Parts of a tape recording containing racial slurs uttered by Texaco executives may have been deleted, says a U.S. prosecutor. During subpoena arguments, Assistant U.S. Attorney Stanley Okula told the court that the oil company's independent investigation has uncovered evidence of "purposeful erasures" on the recordings. Okula said that additional charges may be brought against Richard Lundwall, the Texaco executive who originally made the tapes public, if it can be shown that he was responsible for the suspected deletions. Neither Okula nor Lundwall's attorney, Ethan Levin-Epstein, would comment on which portions...
...prosecutor coming off a Supreme Court victory, this was like being blasted with a Super Soaker while strolling in his best suit.

"The obvious focus," he emphasizes, continues to be on JonBenet's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, "but not the sole focus." The prosecutor cautions that "our job, since we don't know the truth, is to keep an open mind, not to have some kind of tunnel vision and certainly not to try to cram evidence into some pet theory...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Well, now we'll find out how good the notes were. The Supreme Court today let stand a ruling ordering White House lawyers to surrender notes of Whitewater-related conversations with Hillary Clinton. Special prosecutor Kenneth Starr hopes the records of two meetings Mrs. Clinton had with government lawyers over her testimony regarding files from the Rose Law firm will yield important new clues in the near-stalled Whitewater investigation. If Starr's right, Mrs. Clinton could face a second round of questioning by a Whitewater grand jury in Little Rock. If he's wrong, it gives even...
