- BARRY'S STRANGE BEDFELLOWS. So many critical stories have
- been written about Washington Mayor Marion Barry that he is
- starting to feel a twinge of sympathy for Richard Nixon and
- John Tower. At a luncheon meeting with TIME last week, Barry
- joshed that he had watched The Final Days, a mini-series about
- Nixon's last moments in office, "with a little more interest
- than I ordinarily would have." He said he had stifled an urge
- to call Tower last year when allegations of heavy drinking and
- sexual misconduct torpedoed the Texan's chances of becoming
- Secretary of Defense. "I was tempted to say, `John, we're going
- to form a society of those who have been abused and accused,
- prosecuted, persecuted, tried and convicted in the press.'"
