...within the household as it is out on the Web itself. There are thousands of families in which reading the kids' e-mail, monitoring their chats and tracking their Web travels is a solemn parental obligation. "I have every right to read their e-mail," says Bruce Cohen, a Reno, Nev., father of two. "Legally, I'm responsible for them until they're 18." Yet many others believe that invading an e-mail file is no different from opening a pen-and-paper diary that your daughter keeps under lock and key in a dresser drawer. A lot of parents...

In each instance, she has been buffeted by hurricane-force political winds. On Wednesday Reno got her chance to do her own huffing and puffing -- and do her best to blow down the whole institution in front of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. A supporter of the statute in 1993, Reno has now changed course...
...taken a life of their own, swept in tangential people and been prosecuted harshly -- costing too much money and time," says Novak. She now agrees with her department's Public Integrity Section, which has steadfastly maintained it is willing, able and professional enough to conduct investigations of administration officials. Reno's opposition reduces the chances of renewing the independent counsel statute to near zero. Although committee chairman Fred Thompson criticized some of her independent counsel decisions, don't count on him either to save the statute: He's never supported the law for some of the same reasons as Reno...
