...Economist Behravesh predicts little growth (1.5%) this year in Thailand, after an annual average of 9% for the past decade. But it will rebound to 3% in 1998. Indonesia will grow 6.5% in 1997 and 6% the following year. The Philippines, which rose a record 5.5% in 1996, will slip back to about 4.5% this year and 4% thereafter. Anemic Japan will do little to counter the trend. Growth for 1997 is expected to reach just 1.5% in 1997 and 2.8% the following year...

The tales of malfeasance flowed like wine: One witness had "been instructed by IRS management not to conduct audits of particular taxpayers who happen to be personal friends of someone in IRS management." Why so shy about coming...
...this time, Paul was behind the wheel of the black Range Rover that carried the couple's luggage. He followed a Mercedes 600 driven by Dodi's regular chauffeur Philippe Dourneau. The two-car convoy was dogged by paparazzi for much of the way but apparently managed to slip past them at some point. Paul turned off and delivered the baggage to Dodi's apartment near the Arc de Triomphe. Dourneau, with Di and Dodi in the rear, continued on, arriving around 3:45 at the Villa Windsor, the former home of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, now leased...
