<p> BARRY'S STRANGE BEDFELLOWS. So many critical stories have
been written about Washington Mayor Marion Barry that he is
starting to feel a twinge of sympathy for Richard Nixon and
John Tower. At a luncheon meeting with TIME last week, Barry
joshed that he had watched The Final Days, a mini-series about
Nixon's last moments in office, "with a little more interest
than I ordinarily would have." He said he had stifled an urge
to call Tower last year when allegations of heavy drinking and
sexual misconduct torpedoed the Texan's chances of becoming
Secretary of Defense. "I was tempted to say, `John, we're going
to form a society of those who have been abused and accused,
prosecuted, persecuted, tried and convicted in the press.'"
