Symington, who won election last February in large part on his record as a successful businessman, called the suit politically motivated and "pure garbage." In a point-by-point rebuttal during a 90-minute press conference in the pink stucco-and-granite Ritz-Carlton Hotel that is part of the Esplanade, Symington denied any wrongdoing and called the RTC an example of "government run amuck...

Internal B.C.C.I. documents examined by TIME show that the bank planned to move $5 million of Hammoud's loans -- including those related to the Connecticut project -- to "offshore" branches to avoid examination by regulators.

He appointed a trio of pragmatic political strategists -- Commerce Secretary Robert Mosbacher, pollster Robert Teeter and Republican businessman Fred Malek -- to lead his re-election campaign. Yet before the week ended, two of Bush's advisers publicly disagreed about the wisdom of cutting taxes for the middle class, once again underscoring the divisions within the President's inner circle about how much should be done to resuscitate...
