In Congress, No Anti-Corruption Legislation in Sight
Richard B. Schmitt, The Los Angeles Times: "Congress has been awash in corruption scandals, the latest being the indictment of long-serving Republican Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, but prospects for legislation to make questionable practices like Stevens's alleged acceptance of gifts illegal in their own right appear grim. A year after a bipartisan group of senators proposed giving the Justice Department important new clout in pursuing official misconduct, the Public Corruption Prosecution Improvements Act is apparently blocked in Congress."
