- <p> Some Bush Administration insiders are acidly recounting
- the irony of a blunt lecture John Su nunu delivered to former
- Education Secretary Lauro Cavazos last December. When the chief
- of staff summoned the ineffectual Cabinet member and asked him
- to resign, Sununu included a few sharp comments on Cavazos'
- travel habits. The Secretary usually took along his wife Peggy
- Ann, and is suspected of paying her fares with frequent-flyer
- credits he earned on official business--an apparent violation
- of federal rules requiring those bonuses to be turned over to
- the government. The couple also preferred to travel on TWA, even
- when other carriers offered more direct routes. Because Cavazos'
- son worked for the airline, the Secretary's wife was able to fly
- free. Sununu's heavy use of military flights earned him a slap
- on the wrist, but Ca vazos' machinations are the subject of a
- Justice Department criminal investigation.
