Reno cited corroboration of parts of a complainant’s story and the need for grand jury subpoenas and immunity. President Clinton backed Herman, calling for thorough investigation to exonerate her.

Grounding raises precaution need for older Boeing jets
Washington AP reports Boeing used Teflon coated fuel tubes in late 1960s models, assuming long life. After 30 years, frayed wires and punctured tubes prompted FAA to ground oldest 737s until inspections complete. Of 142 tubes on 71 planes inspected, half showed abrasion. Continental canceled about a dozen flights. Critics say wiring issues extend to civilian and military aircraft, with a broader inspection program planned by summer.
