Election Fears. These were the reverberations from the confession of Elizabeth Ray, 33, a comely if shopworn blonde, that she had been employed as a $14,000-a-year congressional committee clerk by Wayne Hays; the Ohio Democrat, for the sole purpose of being one of his sexual playmates. Hays, 65, and apparently insatiable, admitted the relationship but protested unpersuasively that Ray had done other work too. Few of the many men who had encountered Liz during her four years on Capitol Hill knew of any talents beyond the bedroom. Congressional Democrats pressed for Hays to resign his committee chairmanships...
Andersen was a zealous upholder of the code (which states that "a cadet will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate anyone who does" and which demands expulsion as the sole penalty).

Forty will be members for life. The King will still have sole authority to choose a Premier, but his choice must come from three names submitted to him by the right-wing-dominated regency council, said Interior Minister Manuel Fraga Iribarne, 53, who planned the constitutional changes...
Little Difference. Although Blackmun specifically declined to consider the decision's effect on other professions, the logic of the court's decision offers hope to consumer groups that have long been attacking the advertising bans in the legal and medical professions. Indeed, the sole dissenter from the decision, William Rehnquist, saw little difference between the public's right to know in advance the prices of drugs-and thus be able to shop for them-and its right to know the prices of legal, medical or other professional services for which standardized fees are charged...
