BUSH ARREST NOT WORTH COVERAGE; RENO HEALTH IS

Was it really necessary for Brian Crowley to highlight Gov. Bush's 
daughter's arrest in Sunday's front-page article "Favorites end a week 
they'd like to forget"?

Is Mr. Crowley suggesting that voters should not be concerned about 
Democratic front-runner Janet Reno's health -- or the health of any 
potential officeholder -- and the effect her health may have on her ability 
to serve as governor?

I thought there was an understanding in political circles and among 
political writers that family matters, especially those involving 
politicians' children, were somehow exempt from scrutiny -- in the interest 
of good taste. Ah, yes. Good taste.
