	Worldandnation: Carol Browner's future yet to be decided
		When she took over the EPA in January 1993, Browner recalled, "I found a backward, technical agency." EPA employees were so focused on debating parts-per-billion issues that they missed what she considered the big picture of environmental protection: protecting the public's air, water and food.

		For its head administrator, Carol Browner, there are many reasons to look back with pride, as well as reasons to work even harder in the next millennium.
		According to Browner, the court's ruling did not fault the EPA's science or methods (the agency reviewed more than 5,000 scientific studies and papers, and a subsequent critique of the EPA's appraisal of these materials was conducted by top-tier experts) or its public review, which included twenty-four congressional hearings.
		Browner is a proponent of community knowledge and involvement in environmental issues, saying, "if you give people the information and let them digest it, they will make much better decisions than we could make for them." Is the American public interested in the state of their environment?

		Browner -- the brainy, detail-oriented, high-powered, have-it-all, do-it-all, know-it-all career attorney -- says she didn't know about the court injunction signed in the morning by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth on the same day she had her hard drive wiped clean.
		But Browner, who boasted at the National Press Club last fall that "One of the things I'm the proudest of at EPA is the work we've done to expand the public's right to know," apparently didn't hesitate to erase wholesale the electronic documents on her desktop computer.
		Browner nobly noted: "It didn't seem appropriate to leave behind a computer with kids' games." Such a stickler for ethical details, but it doesn't seem to have occurred to Browner that it might not be "appropriate" to have her kid load games on her central government computer in the first place.

		More than anything else, Carol Browner appears to be focused on bolstering the Administration's ties with environmentalists, expanding her dominion, and generating future campaign ads for Vice President Al Gore.
		Explaining to Congress why she disregarded their expert opinions, Carol Browner said and I quote: "I don't think it would surprise any of us that scientists who are dependent for their bread and butter on receiving research grants would be of the opinion that more research should be done."
		Although there were ample indications that Carol Browner was directly and personally involved in retaliations against me, she refused repeated notices to be deposed in a hearing before a federal Administrative Law Judge.

	Michael Fumento reports: "Clinton's Cabinet Gets Greener."
		Browner was a legislative aide to then-Sen. Lawton Chiles, D-Fla., from 1986 to 1988, and then served as the top legislative assistant to Gore until last year when Chiles, now governor of Florida, appointed her to the top environmental post in Florida.
		Critics note that Browner has never worked in the private sector, but began working for government even before she graduated from the University of Florida Law School in 1979.
		In addition to the influence on the Browner appointment, Gore reportedly flexed his muscles in helping to scuttle the nomination of Lawrence H. Summers, the chief economist at the World Bank, as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.

		At times Browner sounds like a supercharged bureaucrat, getting excited, for example, over "moving 80 significant rule packages" by the end of the year.
		But she catches herself dipping into EPA-speak and says with a smile: "Not that people care about this!" She is a hyper-bright lawyer, but also a populist at heart, known for taking a moment after meetings to establish a personal rapport with people.
		At age 37, Browner has been a government wunderkind, serving as Senator Al Gore's legislative director and as head of the Florida state environmental agency.
