They hired American expertise to build the much needed infrastructure for new towns in Indonesia. Do Americans say thank you for your business? No, they paste up photographs of Huang as if he were a convicted criminal. CARMEN HARTONO Oakland, California...
...toes because he does have ethical skeletons in his closet. Washington gossip has suggested that Special Prosecutor Kenneth W. Starr has another round of indictments up his sleeve. And if Clinton's past ethical dilemmas are not serious enough, the latest scandal involving illegal campaign contributions from the Indonesian Lippo Group has heaped even more disrepute on the White House...
