International Herald Tribune: Lobbyists' scandal has a K Street home
International Herald Tribune

WASHINGTON: In the parlance of Washington, they call it K Street, almost as if it were a separate branch of government.

Sixteen big lobbying firms have more lobbyists than the Senate's 100 members; this white-collar industry takes in more than $2 billion a year. No other country has anything of this magnitude.
