The U.S. President Bill Clinton says he won't decide the fate of embattled F.B.I. Director William Sessions until after installing a new Attorney General. The head-spinning complications don't stop there; the entire Sessions controversy resembles a shootout in a hail of mirrors. Sessions may have overindulged in the substantial perks of his office. On the other hand, he's found unlikely and passionate defenders, among them Coretta Scott King and Andrew Young. To them he is a victim of a campaign by Reaganites in the Justice Department and racists in the bureau who can't stomach his championing of black and female agents and his gestures of reconciliation toward civil rights leaders.
