Leach presses Whitewater probe amid Clinton S L tangled ties
Gazette editorials urge continuation of investigations into Bill and Hillary Clinton and their Arkansas S&L dealings with James McDougal and Whitewater.

Whitewater special prosecutor urged amid Clinton scrutiny
The piece argues for appointing a special prosecutor over President Clinton in the Whitewater affair and Arkansas S&L losses. It notes the federal bailout cost about 50 million, ties Hillary Clinton and James McDougal to deals, cites a 1992 RTC referral, and urges congressional oversight and possible civil remedies while cautions against criminal prosecutions. It concludes by urging voters to evaluate character in the next election.

Robert Kerwin argues the New Year deathclock display on Times Square offers little for gun violence prevention. He compares it to ineffective family calendars marking Xs for a chronic alcoholic and says signboards create noise, not cures, urging America to grow up.

Strong November Home Sales Boosts Optimism Amid Downsizing
November 1993 home sales rose 11 percent to a seven year high, with retail and credit card use surging while 1994 manufacturing growth is expected in 121 of 136 sectors. Yet downsizing threatens job security as companies trim layoffs, severance, and benefits. Unemployment claims edged down in late December but analysts doubt sustained gains without long term job growth. King Features Syndicate
