CHARITY DOLLARS AT WORK, AND PLAY
Remember the United Way scandal of 1992? It's back, and worse. A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Va., handed down a 71-count indictment against three former executives of the nation's biggest charity -- including William Aramony, who resigned in disgrace two years ago when his luxurious lifestyle on donated dollars came to light. Now Aramony and the two other execs, Stephen Paulachak and Thomas Merlo, are accused of illegally using $1 million of the group's money, then filing false personal and corporate tax returns. Among the alleged misdeeds: the feds say Aramony gave his girlfriend cash for trips, vacations and a sun room for her Florida home.
