...Democrat Walter Mondale more than a year before last November's election, and Reagan successfully blasted his foe as a captive of such "special interests." Furthermore, Donovan, a former New Jersey construction-company executive, had done little to build a smoother relationship. Repeatedly under investigation, and finally indicted on fraud and larceny charges last October, he was too preoccupied to be effective. Although Reagan defended Donovan to the end, many of the President's aides and union leaders alike were relieved when Donovan, advised that he would soon be facing a trial, finally quit two weeks...
...Secretary of Labor nearly six months ago, Raymond J. Donovan, 54, has been spending much of his time at his Short Hills, N.J., home waiting for word that he could go back to work. A grand jury in New York had indicted him last October on charges of fraud and larceny in a scheme involving his New Jersey construction company, but Donovan was confident that the case would be thrown out of court.

Fedders, 43, had a reputation as a vigorous prosecutor of disclosure fraud and insider trading. A former partner in the Washington law firm of Arnold & Porter, he was the father of five sons, a member of the high-toned Congressional Country Club and a churchgoing Catholic who idolized General George Patton. In fact, unknown to almost everyone, Fedders was leading a Jekyll and Hyde double life...
Last week a federal grand jury indicted the flamboyant Democratic Governor on 50 counts of racketeering, wire fraud and mail fraud. U.S. Attorney John Volz charged that Edwards and six associates, including a brother, Marion, and a nephew, had conspired to create 15 health corporations and to illegally acquire state certification that the companies, which existed only on paper, were needed to meet legitimate health needs in Louisiana. The companies would therefore be entitled to receive federal Medicare and Medicaid funds to reimburse them for capital expenditures. After gaining these certificates, the indictment alleges, Edwards and his co-conspirators sold...
