...decision, the Washington, D.C., appeals court declared unconstitutional the method used to appoint independent counsel and the limits placed on the President's power to remove them at will. The decision puts a large question mark over the conviction last month of former White House Aide Michael Deaver...

Olson has been under investigation for some 20 months for allegedly giving false testimony to Congress in 1983. Olson and two colleagues counterattacked by challenging the provisions of the 1978 Ethics in Government Act that provided authority to Independent Counsel Alexia Morrison...

It was a rough year for Reagan's onetime close aide Michael Deaver, who was convicted of perjury; a rough year for Attorney General Edwin Meese, under official investigation on suspicion of corruption; a rough year for Federal Judge Robert Bork, nominated to the Supreme Court but humiliatingly rejected by the Senate. Well, time passes. Next year at this time, Ronald Reagan can look forward to packing his bags and heading westward into the sunset, just as he and his fellow heroes used...
