was seeking to protect Speaker Madigan, why would I take his allegations 
immediately over to the OEIG (Office of Executive Inspector General) if 
I thought there was pressure from Speaker Madigan? It just doesn't make 
sense."Clifford did not get the necessary votes to renew his contract earlier 
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 
about my ability to get a job and how I've been damaged."Metra 
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 
policies.Metra's board of directors must approve the hiring at a special 
meeting on Monday.The man who oversees Illinois' government watchdog group

coffee and doughnuts for editors at the Washington Daily News.United Press 
-- later United Press International -- soon hired her to write local 
news stories for the radio wire. Her assignments were relegated at first 
to women's news, society items and celebrity profiles.Her big break came 
after the 1960 election that sent Kennedy to the White House, and 
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 
would follow for Thomas, among them President Richard M. Nixon's breakthrough 
trip to China in 1972.When the Watergate scandal began consuming Nixon's 
presidency, Martha Mitchell, the notoriously unguarded wife of the attorney
