If granted immunity, Dean said, he would testify about the involvement of officials "both above and below" him at the White House.

A recent full-page ad in the New York Times offered his-and-her Phantom V Rolls-Royce limousines, custom-built by the famed James Young Coachworks, for $250,000. Five years ago, one of the cars was sold for only $8,000 to a dealer by an eccentric Maryland horse breeder who used the car as a hay wagon.
