But his truths are buried deep...

                WAS RON BROWN MURDERED?

        It was a politically timely death.
        Just as Bill Clinton's re-election campaign was swinging into 
full gear, just as Bob Dole emerged as the GOP  contender, just as the 
public was forgetting all the talk of Bill and Hillary's scandals, one of 
President Clinton's  biggest potential embarrassments was 
conveniently gone.
        Commerce Secretary Ron Brown had been surrounded by 
controversy since the day he first took office. The  former chairman 
of the Democratic Party had gotten the job as a political payback and 
was almost immediately  accused of taking bribes, selling his 
influence and investing in slum property to lessen his tax bills.
        Now, he was dead - killed in a suspicious plane crash in 
Croatia - and being hailed as a martyr, a national  hero, a fallen 
warrior, and a role model for inner-city children.
        It was just too convenient.
        Was he sacrificed?
        Given the list of Clinton associates who had met untimely deaths 
when they, too, embarrassed the President,  Brown's strange plane 
crash raises all sorts of red flags.
        Just consider this partial list of those affiliated with this
president 
who have somehow, mysteriously, met with  deadly misfortune:
        *       VINCENT FOSTER - highly suspicious suicide. This 
longtime Clinton friend and  White House staffer had detailed 
knowledge of Clintons' personal finances and was reportedly 
distraught  over discoveries of Clinton illegalities. He made a phone 
call to Hillary Clinton in Little Rock shortly before  his death.
        *       PAULA GROBER - died in a suspicious one-car accident 
with no witnesses. She had  been Clinton's speech interpreter for 
deaf. She had traveled extensively with Clinton from 1978 until her  
death.
        *       GARY JOHNSON - beaten up but lived. He had tapes of 
Clinton's visits with Gennifer  Flowers. Two thugs beat him up and 
stole the tapes.
        *       FEDERAL AGENTS CONWAY LEBLEU, TODD 
MCKEEHAN,  ROBERT WILLIAMS, STEVE WILLIS - all killed 
at the Branch Davidian compound raid  near Waco, Texas. These 
men, formerly assigned to protect Clinton, died under highly 
suspicious  circumstances. Video tape and other evidence indicates 
none died from guns fired by Davidians. Allegedly,  all died of 
gunshots to the left temple.
        *       JERRY PARKS - murdered by unknown assailant. He was 
the owner of a security firm  which Clinton had used in his election 
campaign. Parks had information about sexual affairs and drug  
parties Clinton allegedly attended. Parks had threatened to go public 
if Clinton did not pay $81,000  outstanding bill. Parks' home was 
broken into hours before his death and the only thing taken was the  
documentation on Clinton.
        *       LUTHER PARKS - gunned down in his car. He had been 
the head of Clinton's  guberntorial security team in Arkansas. His 
family says shortly before death, they were being followed by  
unknown people Parks was making a dossier on Clinton's allegedly 
illicit activities. After his death, the file  on Clinton was stolen in a 
break-in at his home.
        *       C. VICTOR RAISER II - died in unexplained plane crash. 
He was the national finance  co-chairman for Clinton's presidential 
campaign. DeeDee Meyers described Raisor as "major player" in the  
campaign. Six others died in the still-unexplained plane crash.
        *       PAUL TULLY - died under mysterious circumstances. He 
was the Democratic National  Commitee Political Director and was 
described by Clinton as a "dear friend and trusted advisor."
        *       JON WALKER - killed when he fell or was pushed off of 
Lincoln Towers building. He  was investigating Whitewater.
        *       PAUL WILCHER - found dead on toilet in apartment. This 
Washington attorney was  investigating alleged drug oporations out 
of Mena, Arkansas, to which Clinton allegedly had ties. He was  
planning to produce a T.V. documentary on his findings.
        *       ED WILLEY - died of a gunshot wound. This Clinton 
fundraiser's death was ruled a  suicide, but no note was found and no 
motive was identified.
        *       DANNY CASOLARO - died with his wrists slit. He had 
been investigating Clinton  scandals and had warned his family that 
he was in danger. He told his family if he was found dead of  accident 
or suicide not to believe it.
        And now, how did Ron Brown die?
         His plane crashed into a hill in Croatia. Conveniently, it had no 
"black box" recording what happened. Nor  did it have safety 
equipment required on such planes - and at least one U.S. Army 
officer had been been relieved  of command for refusing to put Brown 
on the plane that eventually killed him.
        "The Air Force T-43A that crashed, killing Commerce Secretary 
Ron Brown and his party," writes Rowan  Scarborough in the 
Washington Times, "lacked a widely available modern navigational 
aid for landing in bad  weather, Pentagon officials said."
        Officers at the Pentagon, who asked not to be named, wondered 
why a passenger jet used exclusively to  transport such an important 
member of the Clinton cabinet did not yet have the device or even an 
advanced radar that  would have let pilots know that they had been 
drawn two miles off course, according to Scarborough.
        The plane, indeed, lacked voice and flight data recorders - so-
called "black boxes" - which could have  resolved many of the 
lingering questions surrounding the mysterious crash.
        "One of the most difficult questions faced by investigators of the 
jet crash in Croatia that killed Commerce  Secretary Ron Brown and 
everyone else on board is whether the pilots took unnecessary risks to 
deliver their VIP  passengers," asked the New York Times.
         "Going strictly by the book, the pilots on Wednesday's flight to 
Dubrovnik could have been justified in  turning back from their 
approach to Dubrovnik's airport: The weather that day has been 
called the worst in a decade,  the airport was not equipped with 
modern precision landing aids, and the mountainous coastal terrain is 
tricky."
        According to the Associated Press, the U.S. Air Force 
commander of the squadron responsible for the plane  that crashed 
with Brown aboard was relieved of his command just before the crash 
because he raised concerns  about Brown's flight and those of other 
VIPs.
        Lt. Col. James Albright lost command of the 76th Airlift 
Squadron, based at Ramstein Air Base in Germany,  just five days 
before the crash.
        The Stars and Stripes, the unofficial military newspaper 
published for U.S. forces in Germany, quotes an  unidentified Air 
Force pilot as saying Albright was fired because he told his superiors 
he would refuse to allow the  T-43 to fly in conditions he considered 
unsafe.
        The pilot, who spoke to The Stars and Stripes on condition of 
anonymity, said Albright objected to "pressure  from above" to allow 
flights in areas where ground-based, computerized navigation devices 
had been destroyed or  removed during the recent fighting. Albright 
was especially opposed to such flights during foul weather, the pilot  
said.
         Brig. Gen. William E. Stevens has confirmed that he relieved 
Albright of his command just days before  Brown's crash and 
reassigned him to a staff job, because Albright had repeatedly taken 
actions not cleared by his  superiors. He went out of his way to do his 
job right, in other words - and did not just blindly follow orders. He  
was upset that VIPs were being put on planes that were not safe and 
lacked critical equipment.
        He would not shut up.
        So, he was relieved of his command and given a desk job.
        Did Brown's plane really need the navigational equipment that 
was missing? His plane was a T-43A, the  military version of the 
Boeing 737. All commercial versions of the plane are required by law 
to have the gear, which  would have kept it from slamming into the 
hill, which is called Sveti Ivan, or Saint John near Dubrovnik.
        The plane was strangely off the approach path to the airport, 
witnesses said.
        Actually, the plane almost cleared the hill. The wreckage was 
found only 50 yards below its crest.
        "A number of inhabitants of the villages along the Adriatic coast 
between Dubrovnik and the Cilipi airport said  they heard or saw a 
plane passing low above them some two miles inland off the route 
that planes heading to  Dubrovnik aiport usually take," reported 
Reuters journalist Davor Huic. "A straight line connects the crash site 
and  three villages - Gornji Brgat, Srebreno and Plat - where 
witnesses accounts offered the first consistent, albeit  sketchy 
reconstruction of those few crucial minutes following the last radio 
communication with the control tower,  after which the plane 
disappeared from radar screens."
        Ana and Miho Duplica from the village of Plat probably were 
the last people to see the plane only seconds  before it slammed into 
the top of the hill rising steeply only a few hundred yards from their 
home.
        Alerted by an unusual noise that was louder than the thunder of 
the storm raging outside, they came out of  their house just in time to 
spot a giant jet coming out of the thick fog.
        "The plane appeared from the clouds like a ghost," said Ana 
Duplica. "We said to one another: 'This plane  must be lost, it won't 
fare well."'
        "I came out and saw the plane coming out of the fog and going 
back into it," said Miho Duplica. "It flew just  above our heads, very, 
very low."
        When it disappeared towards the hill it was flying at under 900 
feet, Miho Duplica said.
        The Duplicas said they heard a change in the sound of the 
plane's engine when it disappeared towards the hill,  as if the pilot 
had tried to climb above the 2,300-foot peak after it suddenly came 
into view.
        "After it disappeared in the fog we heard a loud noise as if he 
was taking off. The sound changed and then  nothing," said Miho 
Duplica.
        Down the road in the village of Srebreno, Anto Kristovic, the 
owner of a small cafe, said he remembered well  the strange noise that 
forced him and his brother out of the cellar.
        "The plane went roaring just over our heads, it made an 
incredible noise," Kristovic said.
        "The normal flight path is on the far side of that hill, past the 
church and straight on," he said, pointing to a  small white church on 
the top of a ridge between his house and the sea. "Instead it came 
overhead."
        "The engine sounded unusual," said Kristovic, who said he had 
never witnessed anything like the crash in 20  years of living in the 
vicinity of an international airport.
        To the west, in the village of Brgat Gornji, the Basics family 
were cleaning up their war-ravaged home they  had just returned to 
three weeks ago.
        "The plane flew right over us. It was much louder than usual. 
When the planes are landing at Cilipi airport,  they go much further 
out towards the sea," Luce Basic said.
        The fact that the houses of the three families and the crash site 
lie on a straight line that runs about two miles  inland from the normal 
approach path indicated the plane may have veered off course well 
before slamming into the  hill.
        Why the pilot kept to the wrong course if he passed by at least 
two beacons, one at the level of Brgat and the  other off shore from 
Plat, remains to be explained by investigators.
        Military pilots said the T-43A pilot ordinarily would been 
relying on his global positioning system (GPS) that  is now relied on 
by many military pilots and is required on commercial airliners. The 
GPS could have pinpointed  the runway at Dubrovnik despite a 
blinding rainstorm as the plane approached the airport. GPS receives 
a satellite  signal that gives the plane's exact location.
        Instead, the pilots, Capt. Ashley Davis, the commanding officer, 
and Capt. Tim Schafer, had to rely on a  1950s system, a 
nondirectional beacon , that provides little information to the pilot 
and can be distorted by extreme  weather. GPS is especially critical in 
approaching airports like Dubrovnik that lack sophisticated 
equipment,  reported Reuters.
         So, who is to blame?
        Defense Secretary William Perry told the Associated Press, "It 
was a classic sort of an accident that good  instrumentation should be 
able to prevent." A Pentagon pilot quoted anonymously by AP 
disagreed. "Somebody  should ask the question why did you have a 
plane stationed in Germany and used for that purpose with the least  
ability to fly?"
        But why would anybody go to such trouble to get rid of a 
Clinton administration cabinet member? Did Ron  Brown pose any 
potential embarrassment to the Clinton re-election campaign?
        "Bill Clinton came to Washington promising there would be no 
stain on his administration - it would be free  of graft, corruption or 
any hint of wrongdoing," notes Jamie Dettmer, writing in the 
conservative journal Insight on  the News. "The highest ethical 
standards would be applied rigorously. Nominees for Cabinet posts 
would be  expected to meet stringent codes of conduct, boasted the 
president's then-transition director Warren Christopher.  There would 
be no Iran-Contra or Watergate scandals to poison the Clinton 
presidency. Four days after the election  the president-elect promised 
'the most ethical administration in the history of the Republic.'"
        However, even before Brown entered office, an air of suspicion 
hung over his business affairs.
         "A noted wheeler-dealer whose networking skills were more 
impressive even than Clinton's," writes  Dettmer, "Brown had done 
little to dispel the general wariness about his commercial practices. In 
a letter to Attorney  General Janet Reno, the chairman of the House 
Government Reform and Oversight Committee, Pennsylvania  
Republican Bill Clinger, complained, "For over a year, in response to 
direct questions posed to the secretary, I have  received inaccurate, 
incomplete and misleading responses, or no response at all" from 
Brown.
        In one instance, Brown failed to meet a request from the 
committee for information about ties between his  immediate family 
members and Corridor Broadcasting Corp, which is owned by Texas 
entrepreneur Nolanda  Hill. According to Clinger, Brown's daughter, 
Tracy, and his daughter-in-law, Tamara, both received money  from 
Corridor, a firm that defaulted on almost $40 million in loans held by 
government agencies and is itself the  subject of an inquiry by the 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
        At the center of the complicated allegations against Brown was 
the charge that he hid from Congress  $400,000 he received from 
another Hill firm, the First International Communications Corp. 
According to Brown,  there was no obligation on him to declare the 
$400,000 since it came in several different checks throughout 1993

and was a payment by Hill for his stake in First International.
         Clinger claims Brown failed to release "any information to 
support his contention that these payments were  part of divestiture" 
transactions. Brown, in fact, had invested no money in the company 
when he became a partner  in 1990.
        Brown's role at First International was to provide political 
connections. He gave Hill an entree to the highest  circles of 
Democratic politics. Through Brown, then chairman of the 
Democratic National Committee, Hill was  appointed to serve on the 
party's convention-site selection committee. Did Brown's help stop 
there, before he  entered office? Clinger's aides have been trying to 
discover who secured an invitation for Hill to a select White  House 
lunch in the summer of 1993. Hill was the only guest at the lunch 
with the president who was not a CEO of  a company listed among 
the Fortune 500. Congressional investigators also are intrigued by a 
memo Hill wrote on  May 13,1993, asking Brown to arrange a 
meeting with Commerce officials for a business associate, John 
Foster.
         Clinton had tried to make a case that the press and Congress 
should not concern itself about any alleged  wrongdoing committed 
by Cabinet members prior to entering government.
        That has been one of his and Hillary's biggest defenses in the 
Whitewater case.
         However, charges were surfacing that Brown had been guilty of 
impropriety while in office.
        In particular, he failed to disclose his financial stake in another

business, Kellee Communications Inc.  Congressman Clinger claims 
that Brown's connections with Kellee posed a conflict of interest with 
his role as  Commerce secretary.
         Kellee has major pay-phone contracts with AT&T.
        Brown has helped AT&T win telecommunications-equipment 
deals overseas.
        The allegation is that as Secretary of Commerce, Brown was still 
lining his pockets, making deals that made  millions of dollars for him 
and his family
        In documents sent to Reno by Clinger, he says that as Commerce 
secretary, Brown "invited AT&T  executives to accompany him to 
Saudi Arabia. This trip, coupled with other efforts by the secretary, 
culminated in  the signing of a $4 billion contract for AT&T.... 
Although the Saudi contract may not have had a direct financial  
impact on Kellee, it resulted in increased good will toward the 
secretary, and presumably, Kellee Communications.  This enhanced 
good will was an important factor enabling Kellee to expand its 
AT&T joint venture."
        Clinger says Brown was corrupt.
        He rejects the liberals' claim that Republicans were being 
overzealous in their pursuit of Brown. "I don't think  we are 
overdoing things at all," he says. "There is ample justification for our 
investigations and there is a lot to be  looked at. In Brown's case, 
there are strong indications that abuses happened after he became 
Commerce  secretary."
        The Clinton administration has had its embarrassments.
        "Hardly a month has passed without some new controversy 
rocking the administration," notes Dettmer.  "First it was the travel 
office scandal, followed by Whitewater and the incidental departures 
from government of  White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum, 
Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman and Associate Attorney  
General Webster Hubbell."
        Hubbell went to jail.
        "In all, five probes are underway," notes Dettmer. "Three are 
into the financial affairs of Commerce Secretary  Ron Brown who, 
until recently, had been slated by the president to head his re-election 
bid. Former Agriculture  Secretary Mike Espy, who contributed 
greatly to rallying the black vote for Clinton in Southern states during 
the  1992 campaign, is the subject of an ongoing independent-counsel 
inquiry."
        Transportation Secretary Federico Pena is accused of using his 
influence to help his former investment firm  secure a Los An 
contract. Former HEW Secretary Henry Cisneros understated the 
payments he made over a three- year period to his former mistress, 
Linda Medlar, a political fund-raiser. Cisneros told FBI agents 
checking his  background before Senate confirmation hearings that he 
gave money to Medlar from 1990 to 1992 as  compensation for her 
difficulty in securing a job after their affair had become public. He 
said he never paid her more  than $2,500 at a time and that yearly 
totals never exceeded $10,000. In fact, several of his payments 
exceeded  $2,500, and the yearly totals were between $42,000 and 
$60,000. In all, he gave Medlar over $200,000.
        Espy, Cisneros and Pena dutifully resigned.
        Clinton was able to wash his hands of them.
        But Brown would not.
        He refused to go.
        With the re-election campaign in full-swing now, there was vast 
potential for him to embarrass the Clintons.  And so, somehow, he 
has died in a plane crash. All over the nation, flags are at half-mast. 
He is being declared a  national hero and a role model for small 
children.
        That's a lot better for Bill Clinton than if a sitting cabinet 
member were jailed.
        An unrelenting, yearlong probe by Clinger had led to an 
extensive array of detailed allegations against Brown,  including 
charges that he violated federal laws by filing inaccurate financial 
disclosure reports that failed to indicate  income received from First 
International and that that Brown had illegally supplemented his 
federal salary, engaged  in potential conflicts of interest and provided 
false information to Congress about his financial circumstances.
        What about the accusations that he accepted bribes from the 
North Vietnamese Communists - in order to get  the Clinton 
administration to drop its trade embargo?
         A Vietnamese-American, Binh T. Ly, who is living in Florida, 
said Brown accepted $700,000 to help lift the  U.S. trade embargo 
against Vietnam. Then days later, he told the press the FBI ''told me 
that I should take serious  precautions because my life is in danger.'
         Ly told a news conference that the FBI told him ''that my life 
has been threatened.''
        Ly said Nguyen Van Hao, a former Communist Vietnamese 
government official who was his business  partner, had arranged a 
$700,000 payment to Brown. Ly passed an FBI polygraph test, but 
acknowledged that he  had no evidence to support his allegations.
        Was there anything to the case?
        According to the media watchdog group Accuracy in Media, 
Republicans were about to charge Brown with  perjury in his denials 
of accepting the North Vietnamese bribes.
        "Congressional Republicans are raising the specter that 
Commerce Secretary Ron Brown committed perjury  in his oft-
changed explanations about a purported $700,000 bribe offer from a 
Vietnamese businessman," reported  AIM. "In a startling new 
development, a person described as 'close to the National Security 
Council' told  Congressmen that Brown lied when he denied that he 
or his staff were involved in the Clinton Administration's  easing of 
trade restrictions on Vietnam.
        "This is in direct conflict with what Brown told the House 
Foreign Affairs Committee. Brown made clear at  the outset of the 
hearing that he did not intend to discuss allegations by Ly Thanh 
Binh, a Vietnamese-American  businessman from Florida, that he was 
offered $700,000 to help in normalizing U.S.-Vietnam economic 
relations.  The man on whose behalf the overture was supposedly 
made was Nguyen Van Hao, an official of the communist  
government."
        Brown told the Committee, "I am not going to answer any 
questions bearing on the grand jury investigation  in Miami. All I am 
here to talk about today are trade issues."
        Rep. Dan Burton (R.-Ind.) then asked Brown: "Can you tell us, 
Mr. Brown, about any involvement that  you or your staff may have 
had in relation to trade negotiations or the possibility of trade 
negotiations with the  Republic of Vietnam?"
        "I had no involvement with those, Congressman," Brown 
replied.
        Burton then repeated his question in tighter form, asking whether 
any of Brown's subordinates participated in  talks. Again, Brown 
gave a categorical denial, saying, "I answered that in the negative, 
Congressman." He  continued that "we're not going to have internal 
discussions about internal policy formation."
        Soon after Brown's testimony, Burton received a visit from a 
man he described as "a fellow who is close to  the National Security 
Council" who "thought this issue needed to be clarified and 
illuminated."
        Burton gave this account in a floor speech:
        On June 14, a "notice of principals meeting" was sent to 
secretaries of the various departments involved in  international trade, 
setting a "secretaries meeting" for 2 P. M. on June 16 in the White 
House situation room to  discuss a Vietnam options paper.
        As the source told Burton, there are three levels of NSC 
meetings: the "experts' level," at the bottom rung,  where technical 
issues are discussed; the "deputies' level," where issues are clarified; 
and the "principals' level,"  which includes the secretaries of 
departments.
        The June 16 "principals' level" meeting to which Brown was 
invited involved an options paper on Vietnam  which had been 
discussed at the lower two levels. The NSC source told Burton that 
Brown would have been  briefed on the options paper prior to the 
June 16 meeting.
        In any event, the secretaries had two options before them when 
they gathered at the White House.
        According to Burton, "Option 1-A was to allow international 
financial initiatives, but to ease the embargo, to  start the racheting 
down of the embargo, so we could start normalizing relations with 
Vietnam. The majority of  those at the National Security Council 
approved that, but not the Department of Commerce.
        "The Department of Commerce supported Option No. 2 [which 
was to] lift the block on international financial  institutions, and to 
totally, completely, lift the embargo on Vietnam.
        "And do you know who pushed this the hardest? The 
Department of Commerce. Mr. Brown said he didn't  know anything 
about it, he said he never discussed it with anybody in his department, 
and yet at this deputies'  meeting his department was pushing harder, 
almost totally by itself, than anybody else to completely remove that  
embargo with Vietnam."
        The Indiana Republican's staff alerted Congressional reporters 
about the content of the speech, which was  seen on C- SPAN and 
printed in the Congressional Record. But the media ignored Burton's 
explosive revelations  - particularly his charges that Brown's 
conflicting answers on Vietnam put the Clinton Administration in 
jeopardy  of miring itself in scandal.
        "This could be another Watergate, or worse," Burton declared. 
"It stinks to high heaven."
        Burton noted that Brown's story about the Binh allegations has 
changed several times on significant points:
        * A spokesman for Brown denied that the Democratic politician 
had ever met Hao, a denial which Brown  personally gave to several 
Washington reporters in the summer. Then, however, Brown admitted 
having met with  Hao three times, including having dinner with him, 
giving him a tour of the Commerce Department, and sending  him a 
Christmas card.
        * Brown, both personally and through a spokesman, at first 
denied having read a letter Hao sent to Saigon  outlining a discussion 
he held with Brown about the $700,000 fee. But as Burton pointed 
out, Brown later said,  "'Yes, I believe I did read the letter from some 
government official over there.'" Burton continued, "It was the  
Prime Minister of Vietnam. So he has been caught in two or three 
falsehoods already."
        Based on his interviews with Binh, Burton also gave fresh 
details of the deal Brown allegedly tried to make  with the 
Vietnamese. He said, "One of these items, according to Mr. Ly [Binh] 
was that Mr. Brown would have  exclusive contractual rights to 
American businesses that went over there from the Vietnamese side.
        "In other words, he was to get a cut of the 100 or 150 American 
businesses that he would take into Vietnam,  and he would be in 
essence, the beneficiary of any profit made by the Vietnamese 
government, or at least a  percentage of that.
        "In addition, Mr. Ly [Binh] indicated there was going to be huge 
oil-drilling exploration taking place, and that  Vietnam had the third-
largest oil reserves in the world...and that Mr. Brown was going to get 
royalties off of all the  oil that was sold by the Vietnamese 
Government to the United States, and other entities."
        According to Burton, Binh protested such lucrative fees being 
given to Brown and tried to pull back from the  deal. Whereupon, he 
said, Hao admonished him to be quiet, and he would also be given a 
percentage of any  profits. Later, a concerned Binh spoke with a 
friend in Louisiana, a father figure, who told him, "You ought to get  
out of that, because it is corrupt and a lot of people could go to jail."
        At this point Binh broke with Hao and began talking with the 
FBI, the media and Congressional staff  members.
        Then there were the charges that Brown was a slumlord - also 
very embarrassing to the Democrats and to  Clinton.
         "It has been argued in this age of contemporary politics that the 
Republican Party is the party for the wealthy,"  wrote Herb London in 
the conservative digest Human Events before Brown was killed. "The 
GOP is presumably  at war with working class America. Perhaps the 
most ardent and effective rhetorician for the Democrats in the  
political class war is Ron Brown, presently commerce secretary and 
formerly chairman of the Democratic National  Committee. Brown 
rarely gives a speech without making reference to Republican 
insensitivity to the plight of the  poor. It is his stock-in-trade.
        "Recently, however, it was reported that Secretary Brown reaped 
a generous tax break by investing in an  apartment complex declared 
partly 'unfit for human habitation' in Landover, Maryland. Housing 
inspectors for the  county investigating the houses owned in part by 
Brown found trash, debris, used condoms and human waste in  and 
around the buildings. Officials also noted broken windows, rotting 
door frames and wrecked vehicles on the  property.
        "Brown, already under investigation by the Justice Department 
for several of his business relationships,  invested $71,000 in this 
Landover housing project in 1983 and enjoyed approximately 
$175,000 in tax write-offs  in the years that followed. Brown claims 
he is a passive investor and doesn't know anything at all about the 
housing  project. A. Bruce Rozet, whose firm bought the company 
that manages the apartments, said, 'There would be no  reason for 
him [Brown] not to know the property he invested in.'
         "Last October, [now-resigned] Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development Henry Cisneros charged that  Rozet 'got filthy rich off 
this program and he left filthy places behind him for people to live 
in.' No mention of Ron  Brown was made in that speech."
        "There is something quite remarkable about this story, which 
first appeared in the Los Angeles Times. As yet  no one has 
mentioned the fact that the Democratic leader best known for beating 
the drums of class warfare is  engaged in an investment designed to 
reduce his tax burden and, in the process, exploit the poor and put

him in the  position of being a slumlord," writes London. "This, after 
all, is the same Ron Brown who accuses Republicans of  using a cut 
in the capital gains tax as a way of assisting wealthy patrons. This is 
the same Ron Brown who  contends that the Newt Gingrich-led 
Congress is taking advantage of poor children and unwed mothers.
        "Surely someone out there in medialand must recognize the 
gross hypocrisy in this man. Yet, thus far, there  has only been 
conspicuous silence. Could it be that Democrats and media 
panjandrums, who rely on a stereotypical  view of the protagonists in 
the class war of their making, don't know how to digest the imbroglio 
of one of their  faithful? It is hard to imagine a similar response from 
the press corps if Newt Gingrich, to cite one example, were  caught in 
a similar flim-flam tax deal.
        "If the Democrats wish to play the class-warfare theme song, the 
Republicans should play it as well. This time  the lyrics should 
include Ron Brown's investment strategy that has led directly to the 
privation and misery of the  people he invariably claims to defend."
        But now, no defense has to be made of Ron Brown.
        He has received a hero's burial.
        And you can just imagine the criticism that is going to rise 
against the conservative media for sullying the  memory of a martyr, 
fallen warrior and hero.
        Even if he was about to embarrass the Clintons just before his 
very convenient and timely death.
