...staffers also cash in by selling their expertise and connections. Indeed, members of the House Ways and Means Committee were concerned that the President's tax-reform bill would provoke an exodus of staffers into the lobbying ranks.

The former Marine Corps captain was salmon fishing in Redding, Calif., on Sept. 27 when Barbara Millard called to ask him to become the new chief executive. Within a day Faber had accepted, and last Monday he was in Chicago for a meeting of some 170 of the most disgruntled ComputerLand franchisees...
