- <p> The Keating Five hearings are probably giving Capitol Hill
- veterans a sense of deja vu. The familiar faces lurking near
- the witness table prove the maxim that there's nothing like a
- good scandal to bring lawyers out of the woodwork. Principal
- witness Edwin Gray was represented by Leonard Garment, who
- served as Richard Nixon's chief counsel throughout Watergate
- and advised Robert McFarlane during the Iran-contra fallout.
- Charles Ruff and Jim Hamilton, who are defending Senators John
- Glenn and Dennis DeConcini, respectively, served in the
- Watergate special prosecutor's office. Two lawyers besides
- Garment have hit the scandal triple crown. Senator Don Riegle
- is advised by Tom Green, who represented retired Major General
- Richard Secord after Iran-contra and White House aide Robert
- Mardian during Watergate. Lawyer Plato Cacheris, who worked for
- both Nixon Attorney General John Mitchell and Oliver North's
- secretary Fawn Hall, is at the side of Gwendolyn Van Paaschen,
- an aide to Senator John McCain.
