Unfortunately, the council's scandal did not have quite the same flair as the nationally televised Monicagate. Clinton's impeachment was riveted around an affair, a cigar and the definition of sex.

But it shone the global spotlight for a moment on one of the century's longest-running insurgencies, where ethnic minorities have been struggling for some form of autonomy from the government of Burma since the country's independence...
...Offering 579 lots which consisted of movie posters, theater prints and ephemera, memorabilia that is not produced to last long (i.e. cigar wrappers and baseball cards), the specialty auction drew an audience of approximately 200 guests, either registered bidders or simply curious onlookers. On the day of the auction, auction-goers can either bid by raising numbered paddles, or, if they are unable to make the event, call in a few days prior to the auction to express interest in a particular lot. The day of the auction, a Skinner employee would physically make the bids for the prospective buyer...
