...Anthony Lake, President Clinton's nominee for CIA director, while the Justice Department completes separate investigations into Lake's investments and testimony before Congress. In contrast to other Clinton nominees who have breezed through confirmation proceedings, Lake, along with Labor nominee Alexis Herman, has been put under the GOP spotlight. "My read on this is that the Republicans will shake them up, but they probably will pass them," says TIME White House correspondent J.F.O. McAllister. "Majority Leader Trent Lott says he just wants to be thorough." The probe into Lake's investments focuses on several energy stocks he owned while...

Earlier, it seemed the effort was too little, too late anyway. But as the day progressed, 12 previously wavering Republicans agreed to support Gingrich, bringing...

In September she was notified by the La Honda-Pescadero, California, school district that she had to enroll her son Joshua, 9, in school in order to comply with state law. She reluctantly agreed to do so, saying, "I'm doing it to be legal and doing it as a temporary measure until I get the law changed. I happen to value education. I do not value school in any way." Hathaway, who is writing a book about...
