...that Hong Kong interests used a U.S. shell corporation to guarantee a $2.2 million loan to a G.O.P. think tank, ex-party chairman Haley Barbour (the think tank's head) denied knowledge of foreign backing. But a secret memo obtained by TIME shows that a year before Young Bros. Development-USA collateralized the 1994 loan, Barbour was advised of plans to seek overseas funds for the National Policy Forum. Last week the G.O.P. refunded $122,400 in Young Bros. campaign money, conceding its illegal Hong Kong origins. Democrats, smelling blood after months of battering for their fund-raising excess...

It will go to $17 before any serious building begins. In the last cycle, the figure went to $30 before the market became saturated and rents slumped, taking property values down with them. The time...
...Apple Circus manages to maintain a small-circus feeling, even though a great deal of planning and work has clearly gone into putting together the extravaganza. The result is a classy spectacle a cut above the gaudy shenanigans of the typical Ringling Bros. performance. The set is made to resemble a small town (Spindlay, Ohio, 1896) with the orchestra perched above the ring atop the set's main building, a saloon...
