This administration certainly outdid his record with its influence-peddling officials, ideologues-gone-astray, and just plain crooks--from Michael Deaver, Lyn Nofziger, and Edwin Meese to Oliver North, John Poindexter, and William Casey to Anne Gorsuch, Rita Lavelle, and Raymond Donovan.

MARRIED. Anne M. Gorsuch, 40, administrator of the federal Environmental Protection Agency; and Robert F. Burford, 60, director of the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management; both for the second time; in Washington, D.C. They met in 1977 when both were in the Colorado state legislature...
