McLellan Chosen to Lead South Carolina Highway Department
Our view endorses Robert N. McLellan as head of the highway department, praising his honesty, integrity, and work ethic. Despite a year of controversies including an FBI probe and resignations, his bipartisan support and ties to Gov. Carroll Campbell lend instant credibility. His $102,000 starting salary is justified if he raises ethical standards and restores trust.

Corporate Gifts Boggle The Mind

DiLorenzo notes a pattern of more funding to liberal groups ($17.5 million) than conservative ($8 million) in 1988, with major firms like Ford, Coca Cola and General Mills backing think tanks across the spectrum. The work raises questions about why profits tied to the system fund groups opposing business interests.
