Whitewater Overflows GPO Web Site: When Senate Report Tops Every
On-Line Search List, Some Wonder Who's in Control. The Washington
Post, July 22, 1996, pA17.
EPA employee Randall Brinkhuis, environmental protection
specialist with the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics,
has discovered that the Government Printing Office World Wide Web
site has been configured to insert a citation to a Senate report
about Whitewater at the top of every response to a search, no
matter what the search topic. Brinkhuis used search words
including "toxics," "TSCA," "Yeltsin," "Princess Di," "doofus,"
and "Pee Wee Herman," and each response showed the Whitewater
document at the top of the list of available documents satisfying
the search request.
