Counsel appointed for Whitewater
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Clinton and his wife should be questioned under oath as part of a "thorough and impartial investigation" of their Arkansas land deals, Robert B. Fiske Jr. said yesterday as he was named special counsel to examine the case.
ration.
The former Republican U.S. attorney said he was prepared to "go flat out" in the investigation. "It's important for the country to get this done and get it done as quickly and as thoroughly and as fairly as possible," Fiske said.
His appointment by Attorney General Janet Reno, after pressure from congressional Republicans and other Clinton critics, fell on the first anniversary of the president's inaugr
Senate Republican leader Bob Dole, who had asked for such an appointment, said it should not stop congressional committees from their own investigations.
White House officials said the Clintons would cooperate with Fiske. When asked about the counsel's plan to seek their statements under oath, White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers said, "He hasn't done it yet. We'll deal with that when it comes."
The selection of Fiske, now a Wall Street lawyer, fits suggestions that the special counsel be a veteran attorney and, to demonstrate independence, a Republican. Fiske was appointed as a U.S. attorney by Republican President Gerald Ford, but he served mainly under Democratic President Jimmy Carter, from 1976 to 1980.
Fiske's review aims to find "whether any individuals or entities have committed a violation of any criminal law" relating to the Clinton's involvement with Whitewater, Madison Guaranty and a company called Capital Management Services.
Also to be investigated is if the July suicide of White House deputy counsel Vincent Foster was related to the Clinton's, Madison Guaranty or Whitewater. A file on Whitewater was found in Foster's office after his death.
Fiske could send back to the department any allegations of wrongdoing that are unrelated to the Clinton's, said department spokesman John Russell.
Cabinet shake-up deals blow to Russian reformers
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Turning away from drastic economic reforms that have made life harder for many Russians, the prime minister announced a Cabinet shake-up yesterday that demoted or dumped most of the country's bold young reformers.
"The period of market romanticism has ended," said Viktor Chernomyrdin, who advocates a go-slow approach to reforms but insists that efforts to move toward a free market economy will continue.
One of President Boris Yeltsin's key reformers, 35-year-old Boris Fyodorov, rejected an offer to keep his post as finance minister.
"This is a turn back," he told reporters.
and Defense Minister Pavel Grachev, were not affected by the shake-up.
Yeltsin made the changes reluctantly, at Chernomyrdin's prudding, after the strong showing by Communists and extreme nationalists in last month's parliamentary elections showed a dangerous level of public discontent, aides to Yeltsin said.
Yeltsin signed a decree appointing the new, conservative-dominated Cabinet but did not comment on it. Ministers in non-economic posts, including Foreign Minister Andrei Kozrev
Russian newspapers predicted the new Cabinet would take such crowd-pleasing but inflationary measures as raising salaries, propping up inefficient industries and subsidizing collective farms.
"From now on, the government of reforms is dead," Izvestia declared.
Western leaders, including President Clinton, have urged Yeltsin to reduce the suffering of the Russian people. But the departure of key reformers will undermine Western confidence in Russia's economy and could endanger $1.5 billion in long-awaited loans from the International Monetary Fund.
Female student attends Citadel
The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Shannon Faulkner walked into a biology class at The Citadel yesterday and made history. She became the first woman in the school's 151-year history to take a class with the corps of cadets.
"It wasn't like walking into any other class, when there are 30 guys in the class and you're the only woman," said Faulkner, who also celebrated her 19th birthday yesterday.
"My first day of class went well," she said. "The cadets have spoken to me. I don't think I'll be having any problems."
Faukner, who had all gender references removed from her high school transcript, first was accepted by the college, then rejected when Citadel officials found out her gender. So she sued the state-supported military college last year, saying its all-male policy was unconstitutional.
A federal judge ruled she could attend day classes, although not as a cadet, while her lawsuit proceeded. The Citadell went to the Supreme Court to try to keep her out, but Chief Justice William Rehnquist on Tuesday said she could attend classes.
