                Find out what happened at the White House with their
computerized records
                that were under subpoena. All urls/links have been checked
and were working
                this a.m.

                Washington Post 4/18/00
                White House Data Unsearched

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A32641-2000Apr17.html

                by George Lardner
                The White House has a huge trove of computerized records
that have never
                been searched during the criminal and congressional
investigations of the
                Clinton administration.
                The records appear to be covered by various subpoenas that
called on the
                White House to turn over relevant records contained on
computer disks,
                computer entries and tapes. The White House says
much--though not all--of
                the material is likely to be duplicative of the hundreds of
thousands of
                paper pages it has already produced in response to an
avalanche of
                subpoenas.


                And then read about the search warrant in the Los Alamos
case
                Albuquerque Journal 4/18/00
                Search Warrant Attacked
                http://www.abqjournal.com/news/9084news04-18-00.htm

                by Ian Hoffman
                When FBI agents searched the home of former Los Alamos
scientist Wen Ho Lee
                in April 1999, their warrant targeted evidence so broadly
that agents
                carried off the Los Alamos phone book, the plays of
Tennessee Williams and
                the short stories of a 19th century Frenchman.
                On Monday, Lee's defense argued the search was so loosely
controlled as to
                be illegal and all evidence taken should be barred from
prosecution use at
                trial.
                "The agents might as well not have had a warrant for all the
direction this
                warrant gave them," said Lee attorney Nancy Hollander, a
federal criminal
                defense lawyer for 20 years.
                "This is one of the worst warrants I've ever seen," she
said.


                And what about attorney-client confidentiality -- a topic
rarely considered
                when one discusses confidentiality of records
                Honolulu Star Bulletin 4/12/00
                Experts: Chevron ruling unusual
                One law professor says the state must have made 'a pretty
good case' for a
                judge to pierce attorney-client privilege.

                by Rob Perez
                A federal judge's decision to review confidential
communications between
                Chevron Corp. and its lawyers has given the state an unusual
pre-trial
                victory in its gasoline price-fixing lawsuit, several
mainland antitrust
                experts say.
