In Paris Liberation commentary on July 1, 1996, the Magaziner report endorsed by President Clinton is praised for pragmatic, not ideological, analysis. It argues the Internet needs light, innovative regulation and seeks international accords as national laws struggle to keep pace with the information revolution.
A Philadelphia Inquirer piece notes how lawmakers borrow Hollywood style, giving warm catchy names to dubious laws. It cites examples such as the Contract With America and imagined film style titles for acts like Intermodal Task Force for Outreach and Monitoring of Resident Aliens and The Lost World.
The text argues that White House strategy aimed to delay and distort by releasing old evidence while media coverage treated the hearings as irrelevant. It notes the public and networks seldom reported new details, limiting scrutiny of actors like Huang and donors Chung and Gandhi. It cautions that key disclosures may emerge too late for televised impact.
The Senate panel weighs granting Huang, a former fundraiser tied to Clinton, partial immunity to compel testimony on alleged illegal campaign contributions and possible leaks of classified docs. Justice opposes immunity. Thompson rejects it, while Specter suggests staged testimony. The Iran Contra precedent is cited to warn against overuse of immunity.
A reader defends the Aiken County Council amid criticism. They note many residents lack knowledge of their council members and district, urge better public notices, and express support for their local official who they say deserves a raise.
Susan Rogers of Rome Georgia thanks Aiken County EMS for prompt professional aid after hydroplaning at mile marker 37 on a bridge en route to Myrtle Beach. She describes heat and comfort provided, the patrolman’s help, and a later hotel stay before continuing to sort insurance and seek another car.
