Prosecutors are using one new ploy to hamper gangsters' ability to retain legal talent. They are invoking the forfeiture provisions of drug and racketeering laws to seize any attorney fees paid with illgotten gains. In a Colorado case last month, a federal judge disallowed such seizures, saying they violate a defendant's right to the legal representation of his choice. But last week in New York, another federal judge allowed prosecutors to subpoena information about the source of the fee paid to a lawyer in a narcotics case.

...group issued a few days later. At week's end Robb, Jim Blanchard of Michigan, and Bruce Babbitt of Arizona were the only Governors remaining of ten whose names had appeared on preliminary lists (among the dropouts: Bob Graham of Florida, Bill Clinton of Arkansas, Richard Lamm of Colorado).

...Governors, 34 of whom are Democrats, issued no outcry against the proposed cutoff. "Revenue sharing has got to be on the table with everything else," said Colorado's Richard Lamm, a Democrat, about the concerted need to reduce the national deficit. But the Governors are by no means idle spectators in the fight over the program. They know that if cities lose their customary Washington pipeline, they will turn first to their state capitals to try to close the gap. Many Governors contend that their state surpluses are small relative to their budgets, and that they are required...
