Meese loan disclosures raise cloud over attorney general nominee
Reagan’s pick Edwin Meese III faces intensified scrutiny as a special prosecutor may untangle his finances amid new revelations about a $15,000 loan to Mrs Meese from Edwin Thomas and two other loans to the Meese family. Thomas says no interest was charged, while aides suggest amended tax returns may be filed. Senate debate and White House statements resume as Meese seeks vindication.

Professors urge fuller record on Meese confirmation
Forty two law professors including 11 from Harvard urge that officials face a fully developed record before Edwin Meese III is confirmed as attorney general. A memo by Stephen Gillers of New York University argues there is no probable cause to charge Meese, while timing risks dragging the issue through the election campaign.
