...ethics in government, Dukakis would be wise to follow Carter's lead. Carter's one ethical liability, Bert Lance, was never convicted of any crime. 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. Carter got Lance to resign, even after he was found innocent, while Reagan ignored rampant corruption...

After a 16-day trial, a federal jury in Washington found Nofziger guilty of illegally contacting the White House for three clients of his "communications" firm. They were: New York City's scandal-plagued Wedtech Corp., which paid Nofziger's agency $1 million to help secure an Army small- engine contract; Fairchild Republic Co., which paid his firm $25,000 to promote continued federal funding of A-10 antitank aircraft; and the National Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association...
