...rebuked for providing free doughnuts to supporters. "You would think that I would have seen this," Durenberger said last month. In an apology to constituents in December, he said, "I failed to appreciate the appearance of what I was doing." When the ethics committee begins to weigh Durenberger's six-year pattern of deception, its concern will be with much more than appearances...
Term limitation is not a new idea. The Continental Congress precluded members from serving longer than three years in any six-year period. More recently, Presidents Truman and Eisenhower advocated a cutoff, as did the 1988 Republican Party platform. First-time candidates, too, often warm to the notion, but most back off after election.

A staple of DeConcini's successful 1988 campaign for a third six-year term was his claim that he could better fight for a twelve-year limitation if he was in the Senate...

...KNOWS WHAT SHERMAN SAID. Announcing his bid for re-election to the Senate, New Jersey's Bill Bradley said he "can't think of anything" that would keep him from serving a six-year term.

With such a handy war chest, his demurral sounds a shade less convincing than William Tecumseh Sherman's "I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected." Says a Bradley...
...Joseph Moakley (D-Mass.), a member of the House Democratic leadership collected $441,364 in PAC contributions from 1983 through 1988, according to a report by Common Cause, a government watchdog group. The report detailed some $2.7 million in PAC contributions over the six-year period to the 11 House members from Massachusetts...
