- <p> TOUGHER TIMES FOR THE TAXMAN. The Internal Revenue Service
- was embarrassed last summer by congressional hearings that
- unearthed a string of cases involving high-level misconduct and
- cover-ups inside the agency. Now the new IRS commissioner, Fred
- Goldberg Jr., has come up with a plan that should make it
- harder for such episodes to recur. Henceforth, allegations of
- misconduct against high-ranking IRS agents will be probed by
- the Treasury Department's inspector general instead of the tax
- agency's own investigators.
