PAUL TSONGAS (+2) All he lacks is charisma, which Clinton has in excess. Drawbacks: He doesn't need the job, and who could ever forget "Pander Bear...
Some of the guilty sought refuge in technicalities. They pointed out that the defunct facility was not really a bank but a disbursement center where members were given accounts that did not bear interest. Each account was credited monthly with the individual member's net salary, generally $7,000 after deductions.
