...G.O.P. refunded $122,400 in Young Bros. campaign money, conceding its illegal Hong Kong origins. Democrats, smelling blood after months of battering for their fund-raising excess, are urging the return of the full $2.2 million. Most of that loan to the Forum was rerouted to the party to repay past debts and free up cash for the final weeks of the G.O.P.'s 1994 electoral coup. Two years later, Young Bros. was forced to pick up $500,000 of the loan balance after the party-backed Forum reneged on payments...

Fund raising is always hardest right after a national election; D.N.C. officials emphasize they have reached all their money targets so far this year and expect to raise at least $50 million in 1997. But the party is $14.4 million in debt and must repay $1.5 million more in contributions now judged improper.

A small-town daughter of an insurance salesman, she wasn't about to sign over what she called her security blanket to repay what she regarded as a political debt. By April the Speaker told a friend that if he paid up, Marianne would leave...
...talked the deal over with--Who else?--former aide Sheila Burke. Following the path he'd taken a million times before, he went over to the Capitol, huddled behind the same ornate doors, took up a chair on a balcony overlooking the Mall. Dole expected criticism; Gingrich need not repay a cent for eight years, and since he's vowed to leave Congress after six, the Speaker will have plenty of time to raise the $643,000 to pay Dole back. There was a pause: by then, someone suggested, Dole might be dead. Right, said Dole, who quickly settled...
