Reno trades barbs over probe
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde pressed Attorney General Janet Reno face to face, accusing her probe of campaign fund raising of conflicts of interest while Reno defended the independence and scope of the investigation. She warned that polls should not drive federal law, and said she will escalate only with her and the FBI director’s personal approval.

Tapes Turned Over in Clinton Fundraising Probe
The White House provided video and audio tapes from more than 100 fund raising events to House and Senate investigators. The list includes a February 1996 Asian American dinner netted at $1 million and a May 1996 event linked to Indian leader Mohandas Gandhi’s relative, with donations later returned. Investigators pursue potential foreign money and compliant actions by President Clinton amid statements of cooperation.

Salmonella used to target cancer in mice Yale scientists report
Yale University researchers report genetically engineered Salmonella can home to tumors in mice and slow tumor growth. Trials with human melanoma, breast, colon, prostate, lung, and renal tumors showed prolonged survival but no cures. Pawelek noted bacteria multiply in tumors and impede growth, though complete eradication did not occur.
