> The New York Times scoops everybody this morning with news that President
> Clinton will soon announce new federal rules protecting the privacy of
> medical records. All records kept or transmitted electronically, including
> printouts of electronic transactions, would be covered, the paper says. In
> proposing the changes through administrative rules rather than by law,
> Clinton is going around Congress, which has been unable to pass
> records-privacy legislation.
