Furmark has told TIME that he first visited Casey in the Executive Office Building next to the White House on Oct. 7, cited his complaints, and suggested Casey check a Swiss bank account listed to Lake Resources -- one of the CIA's depositories for the Iran arms money. "He said he knew nothing about the arms deal with Iran," Furmark said of Casey. "He asked me whether I knew Poindexter, and I said no. He then picked up the phone and tried to ! reach Poindexter but couldn't." Furmark next saw Casey on Oct. 16 when he joined the Director...
...told me, 'North says the Israelis or the Iranians owe you the money.' I protested the runaround. He called a subordinate and ordered him to see what agency files contained on Lake Resources.

Why Lake Resources? Says Furmark: "Mr. Khashoggi said Mr. Nir of the Israeli government told him that Lake Resources was the account the Americans had designated for payment." Of the $25 million, $15 million seems to have...
What explains the rush away from the long-preferred Democratic label is the fact that in Chicago racial voting has become a habit. Blacks and whites each account for about 42% of Chicago's 3 million population, and Hispanics for most of the remainder. If two or more white contenders carve up the white vote, blacks -- voting as a bloc -- have the numerical strength to elect a mayor on their own. That is what happened in 1983, when Washington narrowly won the Democratic nomination in a three-way primary race against former Mayor Jane Byrne and Cook County Prosecutor Richard...
