[NYT] Janet Reno, who rose from a rustic life on the edge of the Everglades to become attorney general of the United States -- the first woman to hold the job -- and whose eight years in that office placed her in the middle of some of the most divisive episodes of the Clinton presidency, died on Monday at age 78.

She died at her home in Miami-Dade County, Fla., from complications of Parkinson’s disease, according to her sister, Margaret Hurchalla. The disease was diagnosed in November 1995, while she was still in office.

Ms. Reno’s tenure as attorney general was bracketed by two explosive events: a deadly federal raid on the compound of a religious cult in Waco, Tex., in 1993, and the seizing in 2000 by federal agents of Elián González, a young Cuban refugee who was at the center of an international custody battle and a political tug of war.
Con't.

#2 A Clintonian prognostication? I'm glad she took into consideration the news cycle. Tomorrow would have been almost too late.

#3 If Clinton wins, there will be more of such to come--It will not just be a splinter group of 7th Day Adventists in Texas but all of us will be screwed bigly. The woman is nucking futs.
