...Bosnia troop pullout deadline is met, and dealing with a Pentagon cantankerous about shrinking budgets and expanding peacekeeping missions. But the best part about Shelton, who served as assistant commander of the Army's 101st Airborne Division in the Persian Gulf War, is that he looks to be scandal-free. President Clinton is said to have accepted Cohen's choice; expect an official announcement tomorrow...
...Senate hearings open this week, Washington's campaign-finance scandal has come down to this: Republican Fred Thompson wants to know if Huang, the architect of Asian fund raising and the must-see Democrat for ethnic-Chinese moguls like the CP trio, was helping funnel foreign money into Democratic coffers and sending back U.S. government secrets in return.

Meanwhile, a reform bill remains stalled in Congress with no real incentive to move it towards a vote. One could come out of Fred Thompson's Senate hearings on the campaign finance scandal that begins next Tuesday.
