Regarding the Ruth Marcus piece in the Washington Post, I felt like emailing her and asking if she missed the good old Janet Reno days -- the days of total shirking of responsibility... of turning a blind eye to illegalities and corruption in the White House... of accepting that there was "no controlling legal authority". What do you think, Ruth? Could the country have standed another 8 years of Bubba-like Justice Department?
Ruth Allyn Marcus, a White House correspondent for The Washington Post, was married yesterday to Jonathan David Leibowitz, the chief counsel to Senator Herb Kohl, Democrat of Wisconsin. Rabbi Max Tickin performed the ceremony at the Galleria in Washington.
Ms. Marcus, who is 35 and is keeping her name, graduated cum laude from Yale University and received a law degree from Harvard University. She is the daughter of Arnold and Judith Marcus of Livingston, N.J. Her father retired as the director of regulatory affairs at Bristol-Myers Products in Hillside, N.J. Her mother is an accountant in Union, N.J.
Mr. Leibowitz, 35, is also the chief counsel to the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Justice in Washington. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and received a law degree from New York University.
He is the son of Marshall and Ruth Leibowitz of Ridgefield, Conn. His mother teaches theater and movement at the Wooster School in Danbury, Conn. His father is the director of research at the UCE Corporation, a manufacturer of liquid-crystal displays in Norwalk, Conn.
