Leak

Dozens of people were evacuated from businesses near a large Anne Arundel County mall Tuesday morning after a cylinder carrying 250 gallons of highly flammable propane began leaking. The leak erupted when the cylinder fell from a forklift and broke a valve, according to a spokesman for the Anne Arundel County Fire Department. The incident occurred shortly after 9 a.m. on the construction site of a LongHorn Steakhouse restaurant on Arundel Mills Circle in Hanover. People within a half-mile radius of the site — most of them in businesses — were told to leave the area, said the spokesman, Capt.

JOHN O. Requard Jr. waited 30 years to say it: He didn't leak Richard M. Nixon's income tax information to the press. And he thinks he knows who did. Sure, Requard says, he was there in late 1972 or early 1973 when another young Internal Revenue Service guy passed around microfilm prints showing Nixon paid a pittance in tax on a $200,000 salary. And yeah, he admits, he initially told IRS investigators he hadn't seen the prints - a misstatement that would haunt him. But he wasn't the one who dished the information to Jack White of The Providence Journal, blowing another hole in the Nixon presidency and allowing White to win the Pulitzer Prize, says Requard, who recently retired from the IRS. Although, now that he thinks about it, he kind of wishes he was. The illegal disclosure of Nixon's tax data in the fall of 1973 is obscured by more famous contemporary leaks such as that of the Pentagon Papers or those dispensed by Watergate's Deep Throat.

THE CITIZENS of the United States, President Clinton, Vernon Jordan and their families have been done a disservice by someone. If the someone is a prosecutor, federal investigator or government informant, then the disservice could amount to prosecutorial misconduct or a crime.Unfortunately, the very nature of the disservice or crime makes it unlikely that the American people or the victims will ever find out who is responsible unless extraordinary steps are taken. More important, as a direct result of the disservice or crime, the president and Mr. Jordan may well be unable to exonerate themselves as they otherwise would have had the opportunity to do.The disservice or crime to which I refer is the perfectly timed leak concerning the alleged surreptitious recordings by Linda Tripp of conversations with Monica Lewinsky.
