Attorney General Edwin Meese called the plan reasonable and compassionate, but civil libertarians and many scientists assailed it as political gamesmanship. At issue are new Government regulations that require AIDS testing of some federal prisoners and all aliens seeking to live in the U.S. Immigrants who test positive will be denied residency. For convicts, the tests will be administered on entering the federal prison system and 60 days prior to release. Parole officers will be informed of positive results. The new regulations are the outgrowth of President Reagan's policy speech on AIDS two weeks ago. Less successful is Reagan...
Attorney General Edwin Meese and former White House Political Adviser Lyn Nofziger are under investigation by Independent Counsel James McKay, in part because of possible improper lobbying that helped Wedtech win an Army contract, eventually worth $32 million, under the SBA program in 1982.

Many of his former associates, says Wilson, ought to be exactly where...
Buried in his sunless cubicle with his cot, his toilet and his TV, Edwin Wilson seethes, "It is to this bunch of sharks that Ollie North tied himself." If North and others in the Government are sincere in their claims of patriotic motives for their selling arms to a terrorist nation like Iran, says Wilson, then they are victims of "unscrupulous people whose only allegiance was to money." But Wilson does not believe the patriotic pieties he hears on television from the likes of Secord. Says the prisoner: "If I'm guilty, they're guilty. If I got 52 years...
