- <p> SALARY CUT. Three weeks ago, 60 Minutes broadcast a 1986
- interview with Charles Keating, head of American Continental
- Corp., parent company of the failed Lincoln Savings. In it, he
- boasted that he paid his secretary $100,000 a year. Testifying
- last Thursday in a lawsuit challenging the federal takeover of
- Lincoln, the financier could not even recall how much he was
- paid. Federal attorney James Murphy could: Keating's
- compensation in 1986 and 1987 totaled $7.25 million. After
- American Continental filed for bankruptcy, his salary was
- trimmed to $400,000. Last month he pledged to reduce it to $1
