Other charges soon surfaced: Durenberger accepted (and failed to report) free limousine transportation during personal travel, converted a $5,000 campaign contribution to his own use, charged the Senate for several stays in a Minneapolis condominium he owned, and used Senate office-building space to make speeches for pay. Next week, barring a negotiated face-saving arrangement, the Senator will begin a two-week public ordeal -- a politically lethal hearing by the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, which has found "substantial credible evidence" that Durenberger broke the rules...
