"Crony capitalism. Isn't that the system that is currently collapsing
in Indonesia? Are we headed in that direction thanks to an indif-
ferent public?" Great point, Pete. I agree that is precisely where
this Administration is leading us. It is no coincidence that Clinton
has forged longtime financial ties with an obscenely corrupt and
notoriously brutal Indonesian regime via the Lippo group, for
example. It is hardly an accident that Clinton, as alleged, has
solicited illegal campaign funds from the Communist gangsters
in the P.R.C. Surely, these international criminals may see in
the otherwise affable, charismatic Clinton a man with whom
they can do business. As the Bard has it, "The prince of dark-
ness is a gentleman." (King Lear)
