[Roger Mudd does a story of Jim Wright's 25 minute press conference answering the House Ethics Committee's charges that he asked groups to purchase his book in order to go over the legal limit for annual honoraria and that his wife accepted a 18,000-a-year sinecure from a friend who could be helped by amicable legislation].
