Unlike federal campaign laws, however, which are fuzzy in their application and relatively toothless in their remedies, the Teamster election rules are quite clear: evidence of illegal contributions that might have been decisive in an election requires a rerun.

The New Jersey Democrat is being...
...sadly interesting motif of parallel dysfunctions ran through the Hiss family as well. Alger Hiss's father committed suicide rather savagely, slashing his throat with his own razor. Alger's sister Mary Ann also killed herself, by swallowing a bottle of caustic household cleanser...
