- <p> Money, observed former presidential candidate Paul Tsongas
- as he withdrew from the race for the White House last March,
- is the mother's milk of politics. According to federal officials,
- Tsongas' chief fund raiser and longtime friend, Nicholas A.
- Rizzo Jr., illegally siphoned off a lot of that milk for himself
- in what appears to be the biggest campaign-fund fraud case in
- U.S. history. In a 46-count indictment, they accused Rizzo,
- 59, of illegally taking more than $1 million meant for the cash-starved
- Tsongas campaign. Rizzo pleaded not guilty.
