As the highest-ranking Democrat, Wright, whose slicked-back hair, caterpillar eyebrows and leering grin give him the look of a wheeler-dealer, was a good target. After revelations of an unusual deal in which a Texas publisher paid Wright 55% royalties -- three or four times the usual rate -- for a collection of the Speaker's speeches and anecdotes, Common Cause and 72 Republicans asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate...

...women of Elektrosila are a bit awed by their new freedom, they are too enthusiastic to be daunted. Fomin, a stocky man whose black wavy hair makes him look a decade younger than his 62 years, has turned down repeated offers of ministry jobs in Moscow. "I'm in love with what I'm doing now. Besides, I do more good here. So far, I have had no bad flukes, so I sleep pretty well. But there are a lot of general managers in the Soviet Union who don't sleep well at all these days."
