Campaigns are supposed to obtain home addresses, jobs and employers for everyone who gives more than $200, and to make "best efforts" to fill in missing information. Yet what they do with the data - or a contributor who fails to produce it - is left to their discretion. The Clinton camp did more than it was required to when it refunded a handful of contributions from its $380,000 fund-raiser in April.

Because a victory...
...courtyard houses to protect the city's cultural heritage, and also to raise the living standards of hutong residents through measures to improve housing, transportation, environment, education, food safety and social security. The change in official attitudes may also lead to a more tolerant response to citizens' efforts to prevent further destruction. In September, for example, monks managed to block city workers from demolishing part of the Fayuan Buddhist Temple, Beijing's oldest, built well over a thousand years ago during the Tang dynasty. Although there's some debate about what exactly the workers were doing, appeals by the monks...
