While Waco andWhitewater hearingscompete for the Capitol Hill spotlight, lawmakers have managed to find a place on the broadcast agenda for another justice and Treasury department probe: the "Good Ol' Boy" hearings. Senate Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who convened the inquiry today, said sealed affidavits claimed rape and narcotics use may have occurred at one of the "Good Ol' Boys Roundups," an annual gathering staged for federal, state and local law enforcement officers since 1980 in rural Tennessee.

...weeks ago, the House approved appropriations legislation that prevents women in the armed forces and their dependents from obtaining abortions at military hospitals overseas, even if they pay for them. In jeopardy too are Medicaid funds that now may be used to provide abortions to poor women who suffer rape and incest, as well as the use of federal family-planning money to provide abortion counseling. Antiabortion legislators will also attempt to restore a series of prohibitions that Clinton overturned in his first week in office--among them, bans on fetal-tissue research and importation of RU-486, the French...
