Donovan is not the kind of crony to Reagan that Lance was to Carter. Indeed, the President was on solid ground in not criticizing the Secretary while Special Prosecutor Leon Silverman was still investigating Donovan's conduct as a vice president for labor relations of New Jersey's Schiavone Construction Co.
