...having a terrific summer. After all, the money is coming in like bats to a barn at daybreak. In the first half of the year, the party hauled in $29.4 million in "soft money"--unlimited contributions that are used for getting out the vote, putting "issue" ads on the air and covering other big expenses. That's about 45% more than the party raised in the same period four years ago.

Only three days ago, Colombian authorities announced that they?d smashed a drug ring which had infiltrated a company involved in the maintenance of American Airlines planes. In that case, the smugglers had transported heroin in secret compartments accessible only to technical staff. To compound its p.r. problems, American is the target of a government antitrust suit that started last May, and one of its planes crashed in June while landing during a storm in Little...
