Janet Reno
Janet Reno , 1938-, U.S. attorney general (1993-2001), b. Miami, Fla.; grad. Harvard Law School (1963). As assistant state's attorney (1973-76) and state's attorney (1976-93) for Dade Co., Fla., she became known for her attention to children's rights, drug cases, and juvenile justice reform. In 1993 she was appointed U.S. attorney general by President Clinton , becoming the first woman to hold the office. In her first year in office she came under national scrutiny for her role in the Waco , Tex., shootout between federal officers and Branch Davidians.

She was the longest-serving attorney general of the 20th cent. Reno announced her candidacy for the 2002 Florida governor's race in Sept., 2001.
