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.

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.
