New Navy Chief

President Clinton has chosen a new chief of Naval Operations to replace Admiral Mike Boorda, who committed suicide last month. The president is nominating Admiral Jay Johnson, who has been the Navy's number-two officer for the past few months. NPR's Martha Raddatz has more on Johnson's career.
