...Capitol Hill sources told TIME last week that White House aides helped Donovan's old firm, the Schiavone Construction Co. of Secaucus, N.J., recruit investigators to dig up damaging information about the Government officials who have been pursuing the charges against the Secretary. Philip R. Manuel, a private detective who claims to have a "loose consulting arrangement" with the White House, is believed by these sources to be a talent scout for the New Jersey firm in its hunt for sleuths...

Businesses ranging from large corporations to small local firms have suffered in this region.

...captains. But the Indian pilot's perks, such as excellent away-from-home living accommodations, make his job the highest paying in India and bestow enormous social prestige. In other ways, India's pay scales show that money does not totally determine quality. A recruit in the Indian army receives only $259 a year (vs. about $5,500 for a U.S. Army private), yet that army is recognized as one of the best trained, most highly motivated in the world...
