That's unusual in the subpoena-happy capital, and so is the tone of his kiss-and-shrug memoir--a bittersweet but ultimately forgiving account of his four years in Washington. In Locked in the Cabinet, to be published this month by Knopf, Reich describes his constant appeals to Clinton's conscience against the stronger pull of such personalities as then Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen and presidential adviser Dick Morris...

...looking for work," he explained. "I was a friend of Webb's. So I asked Webb if he had experience with antitrust work. I talked to Tim. I went and told Webb. Webb called Tim." Berman said he arranged no other work for Hubbell and has not received a subpoena from Starr...
