...document that brought Botero down and damaged Samper was the record of a July 28 interrogation of Medina that was stolen or leaked from Valdivieso's office. In the transcript Medina says that on April 29, 1994, Botero gave him the go-ahead to seek funds from the Cali cartel to help pay for Samper's campaign. Medina ultimately received, he said, two payments totaling $5.9 million...
...lead swashbuckling lives. But some 50 or 60 of them last week were given a chance to help in the pursuit of the nation's most wanted serial killer. The FBI gave them copies of the notorious Unabomber's 35,000-word screed against technology, the same document the terrorist mailed on June 24 to the New York Times, the Washington Post and Penthouse (which had previously offered to publish it). Since then, both papers have been fretting over the bargain the Unabomber proposed: publish the tract in toto within three months--and promise to make space available afterward when...

No documents would be given to the Park Police, nor would the Justice Department lawyers...
...first of these, a review by CIA inspector general Frederick Hitz--later confirmed in broad outline by the President's Intelligence Oversight Board--arrived on selected Washington desks early last week. It is a document offering many pages (700 plus) but little closure. Agency officials summarizing it have asserted that their organization broke no laws in connection with Alpirez. The CIA did pay him, Hitz found, but it never possessed (let alone covered up) sufficient evidence to establish him as a party to either killing. This is not, however, because no such evidence existed; top CIA sources hurry to concede...
