WASHINGTON -- Hillary Rodham Clinton is invoking senatorial privilege to bottle up Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach's nomination as Food and Drug Administration commissioner until the agency releases a ruling on over-the-counter distribution of abortifacient Plan B morning-after contraceptives. The Bush administration hasn't acted on Plan B's application for three years, angering abortion rights advocates but satisfying abortion foes.
