...case of a 37-year-old federal attorney ousted by a new and Democratic administration. But it is more than that. It is a case of presidential sloppiness, of Justice Department inefficiency, of possible obstruction of justice--certainly unwittil on the President's part, possibly initiated by Re Joshua Eilberg (D-Pa.). It is a case of conflicting testimonies and stories given by leading law enforcement officials in the Justice Department, by Congressmen and even by the President...

But Flood bypassed HEW by attaching a $14.5 million grant for the hospital to a bill appropriating antipoverty funds for the federal Community Services Administration. Later Flood urged the hospital to hire Pennsylvania Congressman Joshua Eilberg's law firm in Philadelphia to arrange a bond issue that raised an added $39.5 million for the wing. For its work, the firm received...
