After a quarter of a century, it would appear that the chickens of Watergate are at long last coming home to roost. The Democrats’ favorite stick for beating, bedeviling and bringing down Republican presidents may be about to bring down one of their own.

How Attorney General Janet Reno can continue to evade her duty to name a special prosecutor to investigate the Clinton-Gore scandals escapes me. Were this the Nixon or Reagan White House, the Beltway press would be hysterical by now and long ago have shredded Reno as “the Cover-Up Queen” of the most squalid money scandal in American history. Nothing approaches it.
