- Who else but Donald Trump could come up with a way to
- attract attention in Palm Beach, Fla., in the midst of the
- Kennedy rape scandal? The downsized duke of debt wants to
- subdivide Mar-a-Lago, the historic oceanside estate he bought
- in 1985. Trump plans to slice the property into nine parcels
- that could bring him a total of $30 million. But some locals
- oppose the plan, prompting the town's landmarks commission to
- postpone for a month its decision on Trump's application. He has
- warned that if the board turns him down, he will sell the
- mansion to the Unification Church. The prospect of Moonies
- hawking flowers on the streets of Palm Beach is expected to have
- a powerful effect on the panel.
