Though Flynt is hopeful about having his conviction reversed on appeal, he may be spending time in still other courtrooms. He faces obscenity charges in Cleveland; indictments for sodomy, bribery and disseminating material harmful to juveniles in Cincinnati; and a $10 million breach-of-contract suit from Hustler's former national newsstand distributor.

Though a breach of House ethics, the President's use of campaign funds seemed a rather modest offense. As for the maritime unions investigation, no accusers had been publicly identified, no formal charges had been leveled...
