...newsletters. Hundreds of people read his article on the new Internet commerce regulations. Even if you subscribe to a powerbased theory of relative importance, the you-are-where-you-work theory still fails. Bob Dole, who still wields tremendous lobbying power, is now a private-sector lawyer; John Huang, of campaign-finance-scandal fame, was a low-level political appointee at the Commerce Department...
...Clinton secured the nomination in 1992, the Riady family, which owns Lippo, contributed $480,000 to Democrats, most of it scattered quietly to state parties. The same year, Lippo provided an additional $50,000 to the national party.
