FROM THE ARCHIVE
JUNE 19, 2001 An editor for the Boston Globe on Monday continued to defend a story which has been refuted by Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.). According to editor Matthew V. Storin, one of McCain's aides did not object to a story in which the Senator was said to have called for an investigation into the Mohegan Tribe's casino deal. McCain has repeatedly denied he ever wanted such a probe, instead saying he wants a hearing on general gaming issues. Retreating somewhat on the issue, Storin tells the Associated Press: "[I]f Senator McCain now wants to say that he did not intend that there be a specific investigation of the Mohegan Sun deal, rather than a broader investigation of Indian gaming issues, we are obviously not in a position to dispute him." McCain was in Boston last night for a Republican fund raiser. Get the Story:
