Before the pardon, Rich appeared to have it all--a mansion in a Swiss village, a global business and a helicopter to take him skiing where no lift could reach. But if he left Switzerland, Israel or Spain, he risked getting bounced to New York to face criminal tax-evasion charges from 1983. Bounty hunters and U.S. Marshals set traps for him, and Rich missed his father's funeral--and later his daughter's when she died of leukemia in 1996. That's why, for the two decades after he fled the U.S., Rich has been trying...
Dozoretz and Rich have more in common than their support for Clinton. They are successful businesswomen. Rich is a well-known songwriter; Dozoretz made it big in retail clothing before marrying. Both entertain lavishly, Rich in her penthouse apartment overlooking Central Park and Dozoretz in a $4 million mansion north of Georgetown. Although both have raised money for the Clintons, Dozoretz, who was finance chair of the Demo- cratic National Committee in 1999, is more active and, sources say, introduced Rich to the library effort. They were among 15 donors invited to one of the first library fund raisers...

...former his, the latter hers. Hillary's lapses have been explained away by her husband's low pay in Arkansas. Yet by most standards, the Clintons lived large in Little Rock; she was a partner in one of the city's leading law firms, they called the Governor's mansion home, and had only one child to put through college. Still, she got the family enmeshed in a shabby get-rich-quick land deal and cattle futures, which led to the Whitewater investigation, which led to Ken Starr, which led to impeachment. The most interest Governor Clinton ever showed...
...times in a swing state? Is he the libertarian who fought alongside liberals to keep the government from prying into encrypted computer files or the bedroom policeman who opposed an ambassadorial candidate on the grounds that he was openly gay? Personally abstemious, he banned alcohol from the Governor's mansion during his eight years in office and vetoed a bill allowing Sunday alcohol sales, and yet his fifth largest campaign contributor was Anheuser-Busch. He has worked fervently to outlaw all abortions unless the mother's life is at risk, and yet his website touts his record and priorities...
