Son of former House Majority Leader Hale Boggs and Congresswoman Lindy Boggs - and brother to ABC political correspondent Cokie Roberts - the 54-year-old Boggs is widely considered to be the most effective lobbyist in Washington.

As a pragmatist, he knew that judges were not free of politics, even as he said to Tommy Boggs, "What's wrong with talking to a judge?" But he was insensitive here to public opinion and the law.

Although it was helped forward through Congress by two of the craftiest manipulators on the Hill – Vernon Jordan and Tommy Boggs, working for Hurwitz – the bill failed in the Senate.
One story going around Washington and Sacramento is that Hurwitz had argued that the acres were worth $900 million, roughly what he paid for the entire company, and the Department of Justice countered with a valuation of $20 million.
Dianne Feinstein and Tommy Boggs lobbied hard, and as the bill picked up legislative speed in Sacramento, the one group which could have stepped forward and killed it in its tracks was the Sierra Club.

The ruling last month was made at the request of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and marks another nasty turn in the particularly bitter litigation pending against Hurwitz in which the FDIC is seeking $250 million recompense for his role in the $1.6 billion failure of United Financial Savings & Loan Houston in 1988.
In the Hurwitz matter, the FDIC, a regulator and federal insurer of the nation's bank deposits, said it sought the subpoena of Patton Boggs materials to rebut assertions by Hurwitz that the FDIC sued him so the government could get its hands on a treasured California redwood forest.
Patton Boggs also argued that the request failed to meet a legal test to overcome attorney-client privilege.
