"...The Clintons
also benefited financially from Wal-Mart. Mrs. Clinton
was paid $18,000 each year she served on the board, plus
$1,500 for each meeting she attended. By 1993, she had
accumulated at least $100,000 in Wal-Mart stock,
according to Mr. Clinton's federal financial disclosure
that year. The Clintons also flew free on Wal-Mart
corporate planes 14 times in 1990 and 1991 in
preparation for Mr. Clinton's 1992 presidential bid."
