	For Jim Wright, a Sense of What Goes Around ...
		ORT WORTH, Texas -- When Jim Wright went to the well of the House of Representatives in May 1989 to announce his resignation as speaker, passionately decrying the "mindless cannibalism" he said was consuming Congress, not a person in the packed chamber doubted whom Wright saw as the chief cannibal.
		Wright was brought down after Gingrich relentlessly pursued him over royalties from a book that some of his friends bought in the thousands and over his business dealings with a friend from Fort Worth.
		Wright insists to this day that every charge was baseless and that he could have fought off the accusations had he had the stomach for putting Congress through such a diverting ordeal.

		Although Speaker Jim Wright is largely responsible for the extent of the current crisis, his key role in precipitating the crisis is not even on the ethics committee's agenda.
		Wright's phone calls to Gray are well documented, and it is known that Fernand St Germain, an ally of Wright's, canceled testimony by other regulators in 1985 that would have made public both the extent of the crisis and its roots in gross mismanagement; circumstantial evidence suggests that St Germain did so at Wright's request.
		Wright's loyalty to his friends in the Texas S&L industry was so steadfast that he even cold-bloodedly indulged in homophobia, a mortal sin in the liberal-Democratic lexicon.

		He wanted an interview to complement a collection of essays about Jim's work he was editing, and he proposed suggesting to Jim that I might sit in and be a part of it.
		I told him that whatever Jim wanted was fine with me, and he eventually reported that Jim had agreed to the interview contingent on my being there.
