...Seminoles aren't waiting for the Federal Government's go-ahead. They have broken ground for a casino-hotel-entertainment complex with a new partner, Hard Rock Cafe International. The casino-resort, which will also have convention facilities, a beach club and a spa, will add to the Seminoles' lucrative gaming business. Last year the tribe's two casinos, in Hollywood and Tampa, made a combined profit of $216 million on revenue of $254 million--a return of 85%. By comparison, General Electric, often described by the media as America's best-managed company, reported net income of $13.7 billion...
...their most thorough airing yet. But by the time the debate's up and votes are cast, the Senators too are likely to grant the President approval to fight. Simultaneously, at the United Nations, other countries are wrestling with their roles, under intense U.S. pressure to underwrite a rapid go-ahead.

In July, the Guangzhou-based newspaper Southern Weekend published a story suggesting that Yang got the go-ahead to break ground at Holland Village under false pretenses. The article said the business plan submitted to Shenyang authorities called for high-tech farming and tourism, and Yang paid a much lower price for the land than if he'd declared he intended to use it for home construction. Says a manager at one of Yang's Shenyang companies: "As far as I know, building apartments was never...
...broke the KMT's longstanding stranglehold on power in March 2000 elections. Chen last month made good on an election promise when his cabinet introduced legislation barring political parties from investing in profit-making enterprises. The bills, if passed by Taiwan's parliament, would also give the government the go-ahead to open the KMT's books and seize assets deemed to have been obtained illegally...
