Last February, another Loral waiver request landed on Clinton's desk. The State Department supported the waiver, arguing that it would promote trade with China and enhance America's position as the world telecommunications leader. But Clinton knew that Loral's technology transfer was under investigation. He also knew that Loral's chairman, Bernard Schwartz, was the largest individual donor to the D.N.C. in 1996, responsible for more than $600,000 in soft-money donations.

...crises that will mark his presidency. Sources close to the President tell TIME that on May 23, Habibie was confronted at his office by Lieut. General Prabowo Subianto, son-in-law of former President Suharto and the head of the powerful Army Strategic Reserve Command. The general "strongly requested" that Habibie name him army chief of staff and replace the chief of the armed forces, General Wiranto, with a Prabowo ally.
