this year, but he left Metra with a $700,000 severance deal that
some have characterized as "hush money" to keep Clifford quiet after threatening
a lawsuit.Clifford denies that claim and says the money was "100 percent

announced on Friday that it plans to hire a well-known former federal
prosecutor in Chicago to perform an independent investigation into Clifford's
allegations and make recommendations concerning Metra's hiring and contract

landed Thomas her first assignment related to the presidency. She was sent
to Palm Beach, Fla., to cover the vacation of the president-elect and
his family.JFK's successor, Lyndon Johnson, complained that he learned of
his daughter Luci's engagement from Thomas's story.Bigger and better assignments
