Life Goes On

We'd have given anything to see the facial expressions this week of Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, Senate Minority Leader Tom Dachle, and Senate Ethics Committee Chairman Pat Roberts when they opened the handsome leather-bound volume of "My Book on Ethics" by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

You guessed it: Every page of the unauthorized tell-all book is blank.

Copies of the book were hand-delivered this week to the three leading lawmakers by the Citizens' Investigative Commission, a project of the Council of Volunteer Americans.

The commission is calling for an ethics probe of Mrs. Clinton surrounding her latest maneuvers: the $8 million book deal with Simon & Schuster, her receiving over $19,000 in gifts before exiting the White House on Jan. 20, and her role in her husband's 11-th hour pardons of fugitive tax cheat Marc Rich and four convicted embezzlers in her chosen state of New York.
