Doonesbury Cartoons Prompt ONeill Pressure Over Ethics Strikes
House Speaker Thomas P. ONeill and staff pressed to alter or kill Gary Trudeau's Doonesbury strips published June 15 and 16 that spoofed ethics probes. The cartoons featured Lacey Davenport basing on Rep Millicent Fenwick and referenced ONeill in a bribery coupon and a nursing home gift. The Universal Press Syndicate editor said staffers made repeated requests but did not threaten, and Trudeau's work was defended as accurate.
