Franklin Roosevelt was so fond of sneaking off to his hideaway that he called it Shangri-La. There he and Winston Churchill planned Dday.

Last week GSA Administrator Jay Solomon announced that 50 indictments are expected in a matter of weeks, most of them involving fraud in the repair and maintenance of federal buildings in Region 3. Eventually, more than 500 indictments are expected nationally...
