...task force's probe makes it harder now for her to argue that a special counsel isn't necessary, despite her latest effort to whip the team into shape. Washington was surprised in March when Reno chose Laura Ingersoll, a lower-echelon prosecutor in the department's public-integrity section, to head the politically sensitive investigation. From the start there were tensions between Ingersoll and the FBI agents she worked with. Building on her experience with low-level government graft, she wanted to construct a step-by-step case, starting with small players like the Buddhist nuns who gave questionable...
...revamp is unlikely to raise the same outcry. Last week's color photographs--like a food-section collage of colored pastas arranged into a map of Italy--were eye-catching but decorous. Stories in the new sections included such entertaining fare as a look at cookbook recipes that don't work and a design review of TV talk-show sets. But make no mistake: this is still your father's New York Times. The lead story in Monday's arts section was about a dead opera singer--Maria Callas--while an architecture review of a new Holocaust museum...

There's a reason marketing geniuses long ago termed them "diaries"-beyond the daily block of hourly entries, of section meetings, meals, errands and miscellaneous thankless tasks, a year unfolds as effortlessly as pages turned by the wind...
Reno and Holder, a hard-charging prosecutor who took office as Reno's No. 2 just two months ago, are deeply concerned about frequent clashes among FBI agents and task-force lawyers, led by LAURA INGERSOLL of the department's Public Integrity section. Ingersoll, a veteran of the achingly deliberative Public Integrity culture, favors the time-tested tactic of starting with small players--the Buddhist nuns, for example--and working up to bigger ones. FBI officials counter that this approach could take years. While Reno and Holder may not side with the FBI on every point, sources say they have...
