Before his 18 years in publishing at Peter Pauper, Beilenson--who changed his name a year ago from Roger Nicholas to Nick--worked briefly as a lawyer and then founded Westchester Residential Opportunities, Inc., an affordable housing advocacy group in Westchester County...
Congressional investigators, meanwhile, have their sights on Roger Clinton, the rock singer who got his own pardon last month for a long-ago drug conviction, but not before asking his brother to grant clemency to half a dozen buddies. Clinton didn't, and Roger maintains he was never paid any money for those appeals. But two sources tell TIME that Horacio Vignali told associates he paid Roger $30,000 to work on the commutation of his son's sentence. A spokesman for Roger Clinton said he claims never to have accepted money from Vignali; an attorney for Vignali...

He also submitted his own list of six pardon candidates...

At her press conference after Hugh's payment was exposed, Hillary, used to separating herself from her husband's recklessness, separated herself from her brother's, doing it so harshly that a friend said, if Hughie were watching, he would be "suicidal." More than the money, what he has always wanted was her praise. At the press conference, she called her campaign treasurer, involved in securing two minor pardons, a "fine lawyer and a fine man." She claimed neither when referring to Hughie...
