...there, in China, that White got his start. It was there, too, that he was spoiled--too much excitement too soon too fast, which led him to seek it everywhere without cease.

Jimmy Carter got into the act by observing at his press conference that sums such as those reported by Chavez "would be highly inflationary - contrary to my [anti-inflation] policy." Indeed, Shevchenko may have been able to finance his affairs himself: he received $78,000 in severance when he quit his U.N. post...
