| The Samoa Observer newspaper Saturday accused three
members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of making
illegal donations to the re-election campaign of the country's Prime
Minister in 1991, after he helped their not-for-profit foundation

newspaper's article said that the Arizona-based Robert Louis
Stevenson Museum/Project Foundation, started by Rex Maughan, Dan

| If you drive Interstate 5 near Tacoma,
Washington, you know the Graffiti Rock. About 15 feet long, it always

sign or two. But like everything else in the United States after
