Marston, who has convicted some top Democratic officials, including Pennsylvania Speaker of the House Herbert Fineman, was summoned to Bell's office the day after Webster's nomination. When he emerged, Marston said the Attorney General had told him that "the decision to fire me was final, and would not be reconsidered." Carter admitted the previous week that he had asked Bell to "expedite" the ouster of Marston after receiving a phone call from Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman Joshua Eilberg. Carter presumably did not know that Eilberg was under investigation by Marston's office for financial irregularities...
...Volare models. At 30 m.p.g., the Omni and Horizon exceed federal fuel economy standards for 1985, thus putting Chrysler in a good position for taking direct aim at Japanese competition (Toyota, Datsun) and Volkswagen's Rabbit, which will begin rolling off a VW-built assembly line in Pennsylvania in April...
...transformation has been remarkable. Only five years ago, Congress was the sick man of the Federal Government. For 40 years, power had shifted down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House; the movement accelerated rapidly under Nixon, who essentially operated on his own in making budgets and war. At regional conferences sponsored by TIME in 1972, scholars, civic leaders and members of Congress concluded that, because of the upset in the balance, the U.S. was facing a grave constitutional crisis that threatened the future of democracy...
...Philadelphia Attorney, David W. Marston, 35, is a Tennessee-born Ford Administration appointee who during 18 months in Pennsylvania has both shown a talent for public relations and built himself a generally deserved reputation as a dogged attacker of misdeeds in high places-which in the Keystone State are mostly occupied by Democrats. Earlier this month, word seeped out that Carter's Justice Department, having done nothing about replacing Republican Marston for a year, had formed a blue-ribbon panel of Philadelphia lawyers to recommend a replacement. The ensuing ruckus in Philadelphia raised questions at Carter's press...
...Marston queries poorly. At first he said he had known nothing about Marston until he heard that Attorney General Griffin Bell was going to replace him. Then, under sharp probing from reporters, Carter conceded that he had telephoned Bell and asked him to "expedite" Marston's ouster after Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman Joshua Eilberg requested him to "look into" the Philadelphia situation. It was an uncomfortable admission to say the least: although Carter denied being aware of it, Eilberg has been implicated in a Marston investigation into financial irregularities in the construction of a Philadelphia hospital. While smilingly ignoring questions...
