One of the central figures in the federal government's Whitewater investigation is dead.
57 year old James McDougal died in a Texas prison, where he was serving a three year sentence for fraud.

((Jim Mcdougal turned out to be President Clinton's chief accuser in the
Whitewater saga. However, he didn't start out in that position. Mcdougal, his
then wife Susan, and the Clintons were once business partners in the
Whitewater land development deal in north Arkansas. When an independent
counsel was assigned to investigate some of their business practices, the
Mcdougals adamantly denied any wrongdoing. They were tried, along with former
Governor Jim Guy Tucker in federal court and were convicted. At that point,
Jim Mcdougal changed his story. He began cooperating with Kenneth Starr's
office. At his sentencing, Starr told the judge that Mcdougal was providing
important and new information for the prosection. And it paid off. Mcdougal
was given a very light sentence. He faced a possible 80 years behind bars.
Instead he received 3 years in prison and a ten thoughsand dollar fine. His
doctors say he was at a high risk for stroke and suffered from manic
depression and other illnesses. In fact, he was in such poor health, doctors
said he was a 56 year old man in a 76 year old's body. However even to the
end, Mcdougal remained a charismatic figure and always ready with a quick
whip.

Last night the movie Titanic took top honors at the Directors Guild of America Awards.
James Cameron, the movie's director beat out the makers of "LA Confidential", "Amistad", "As Good As It Gets," and "Good Will Hunting".
Cameron said winning the DGA honor was one of his proudest moments yet.
And, the win leaves Titanic as the favorite to walk away with the Academy Award for "best picture".
Only four of the DGA winners ended up losers on Oscar night.
