During these years, Mr. Tien maintained active relationships with the governments and nationals of both Taiwan and China. This was also a period in which then-President Bill Clinton drew scrutiny for accepting illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals.

Sam Smith COPYRIGHT 1998 THE PROGRESSIVE REVIEW Updated January 2001 and periodically thereafter http://prorev.com/connex.htm 1/47 9/28/2016 Arkansas Connections: A Time­line of the Clinton Years by Sam Smith 1950s When Bill Clinton is 7, his family moves from Hope, Arkansas, to the long­time mob resort of Hot Springs, AR. Here Al Capone is said to have had permanent rights to suite 443 of the Arlington Hotel. Clinton's stepfather is a gun­ brandishing alcoholic who loses his Buick franchise through mismanagement and his own pilfering. He physically abuses his family, including the young Bill. His mother is a heavy gambler with mob ties. According to FBI and local police officials, his Uncle Raymond ­­ to whom young Bill turns for wisdom and support ­­ is a colorful car dealer, slot machine owner and gambling operator, who thrives (except when his house is firebombed) on the fault line of criminality. Paul Bosson, Hot Springs Prosecutor ­ In Hot Springs, growing up here, you were living a lie. You lived a lie because you knew that all of these activities were illegal. I mean, as soon as you got old enough to be able to read a newspaper, you knew that gambling in Arkansas was illegal, prostitution was illegal.
