...road are chauffeur-driven, and Poland has 27,000 chauffeurs for its officials. All of the thousand or so cars with curtained windows that bump along Albania's dusty roads are government-owned, usually contain bureaucrats and their drivers.

Congress ignored the whole thing. So did Lyndon Johnson, until 1966, when Louisiana Senator Russell Long somehow bulled through a new law allowing federal tax payers to check a box on their returns authorizing a $1 gift for presidential candidates-the proceeds (a possible $60 million the first year) to be split equally between the major parties, with a pro-rata share for minor parties that received...
