...most of it scattered quietly to state parties. The same year, Lippo provided an additional $50,000 to the national party. The money was sent in by a U.S. subsidiary controlled by Huang and identified as a political gift in his expense report to Lippo headquarters in Jakarta. That payment drew the first unequivocal link between a Democratic Party contribution and a foreign source...
...building in Oklahoma City. Perhaps some will even be persuaded by his delusions that Federal Government workers were his enemies and that he was driven to attack them. But to deliberately choose a time that would kill the most people defies imagination. The retiree checking on his Social Security payment was McVeigh's enemy?

The U.N. must also agree to accept $819 million as full payment even though the organization contends the U.S. owes $1.3 billion. Barring snags, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is expected to approve the legislation today. But a number of U.N. members are still up in arms, not least because if the U.S. pays less, somebody else will have to make...
