...where Fox comes in. The former Alex P. Keaton and Marty McFly might just be the best spokesperson for a disease which has been somewhat on the periphery of the American consciousness. There have been occasional revelations that public figures suffer from the illness, including Attorney General Janet Reno, the boxer Mohammed Ali and Pope John Paul II. And in 1990, the movie "Awakenings" illustrated with striking realism the physical incapacity of patients with Parkinsonian symptoms.

By delaying, Reno may be hoping the Starr-tainted independent counsel statute will be quietly discarded when it comes up for renewal this winter. In that case, Reno could pick Al Gore's poison instead of leaving the three-judge panel that chose Starr to work its magic again. With even Reno's own staff pulling her in different directions these days, fear of a sequel -- and consequently, the need...
