White House in Control
Pushing legislation and an agenda that even George Stephanopoulos will warm to -- or else. Plus: The woman who moved Monica.

BURKE TEAMWORK br> Former Bob Dole chief of staff and key adviser Sheila Burke hasn't wasted a lot of time ensuring that her reputation as a liberal Republican Democratic sympathizer remains intact. Burke, who left Washington after Dole's defeat in 1996, returned to the nation's capital last year after Republicans regained control of the executive branch bureaucracy to become a director of the Smithsonian Institution -- where she continues to help Democrats. /p>Recently Burke hired Evelyn Lieberman as Smithsonian director of communications and public affairs. This is the same Lieberman who played a memorable role in the Monica Lewinsky affair. As deputy chief of staff to Bill Clinton, Lieberman grew alarmed at the seeming close relationship between the intern and the president. Her solution was to move Lewinsky from the White House to the Pentagon, where Ms. Monica teamed up with an obscure staffer named Linda Tripp.
