The Softer Side of Sears -- And a Pay-Off from a Debt Collector

Two companies indicted in the Rep Tom DeLay (R-TX) PAC investigation have agreed to help prosecutors. Sears & Roebuck and California debt-collection company DCS Inc, were among eight indicted for either giving money illegally to Mr DeLay's political action committee or to one of three associates raising money for Texas statehouse candidates. The probe has already indicted those three associates. The latest phase of the investigation appears to be targeting Mr DeLay himself. (WashPost)
