Damning Chung testimony ties donations to White House access
Johnny Chung, tied to 400000 in illegal Democratic donations, claims access in exchange for funds.

He cites Africare gifts connected to Energy Secretary Hazel O Leary, while DOJ probes lack decisive evidence. The attorney general faces pressure to appoint a special prosecutor.

Lyons recalls Thurmond clash over race based unions
Labor leader Kenneth T. Lyons, head of the National Association of Government Employees since 1962, recalls a 1960s Charleston clash with Strom Thurmond over separate black and white union charters. Lyons, who began organizing in Boston shipyards after World War II, faced threats as he defended integration, while Thurmond did not attend the debate. Civil rights laws later ended such discrimination, yet Lyons remains active amid a shrinking labor movement.
