...husbands to file the returns and won their appeal to the regional Civil Service Commission and the Appeals Review Board. But the IRS, arguing that it was a bad precedent for IRS workers not to send in their own returns, persuaded the full commission to uphold the workers' ouster. The women won reinstatement with back pay in the U.S. Court of Claims -four years after they first took...
...Pistol-Packing Postman. Beaman Hysmith, a mail carrier, shot a co-worker in the chest. While he was serving his sentence, the Postal Service dismissed him. Hysmith appealed his dismissal and won reinstatement because of a procedural flaw: the same person who proposed Hysmith's ouster had reviewed the case.

That assignment will be carried out by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alan Lieberman, who did most of Marston's actual courtroom work, and hard-driving FBI Agent Neil Welch, who is rated the most effective bureau...
...Bell's office the day after Webster's nomination. When he emerged, Marston said the Attorney General had told him that "the decision to fire me was final, and would not be reconsidered." Carter admitted the previous week that he had asked Bell to "expedite" the ouster of Marston after receiving a phone call from Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman Joshua Eilberg. Carter presumably did not know that Eilberg was under investigation by Marston's office for financial irregularities in a Philadelphia hospital's construction program...
