I guess it would be too much to expect that all federal employees be free of bias and prejudice. AP reports today on efforts to seat a jury in Reno, Nev., for a trial involving a multimillion-dollar discrimination lawsuit against the Walgreen Co. drug store chain. One of the potential jurors, a federal employee, was dismissed after meeting with the judge and attorneys for both sides in the case. Why? Because the fed "thought minority complainants always prevailed," the judge said.
