- When it comes to teaching right from wrong, few people are
- more qualified than convicted Watergate conspirator Jeb
- Magruder. Now a minister in Columbus, the former Nixon aide,
- who pleaded guilty to perjury, heads the city's Commission on
- Ethics and Values, which last week launched a campaign aimed at
- inspiring honesty in local citizens. The group was created last
- year, after the door of an armored car popped open, spilling
- about $1 million onto a highway; most of the cash was never
- returned. Funded by private donations, the "Take an Honest
- Look" campaign will feature forums, TV spots and award plaques
- to "role models" like the two hotel maids who found a shoe box
- containing $65,000 in a room and turned it in. Says Magruder:
- "It could have been different in Watergate if there had been
- continuing emphasis on good values."
