Small wonder. Inmates apparently learned how to crack the computer code governing Internal Revenue Service audits. Since prisoners must file tax returns on any outside income, some saw a golden opportunity. Knowing how to hoodwink the computer, they loaded their returns with all kinds of bogus claims for refunds, with little fear of being audited. One convict was finally caught. Last week he went on trial for receiving $20,000 in illegal refunds. Others are sure to follow him to the dock, since the total rip-off could range anywhere from $150,000 to $6 million.

...recording their every word as they conduct a "briefing" alongside the railroad tracks in Plains-even though to date they have provided only the most fleeting glimpses of the inner workings of the post-primary campaign. Afterward, reporters grumble to each other about excessive secrecy and "news management," and file stories soured by bitterness...

Ironically, the real losers will be either employers who contribute to the fund or rank-and-file union members. Employers, who pay $22 per week into the fund for each of more than 420,000 Teamsters in 22 states, could no longer deduct those payments as a business expense. They might choose to add the $22 to wages instead-wages are a deductible expense-in which case...
