<p>How the Keating Five are Faring
</p>
<p> Federal officials now admit that the S&L disaster could cost
$500 billion over the next 30 years. Still, insiders expect the
Senate ethics committee, using shamefully correct
everybody-does-it logic, to go easy on the Keating Five--the
Senators who collected nearly $1.4 million in campaign
donations from Charles Keating, of the bankrupt Lincoln Savings
and Loan. Voters are likely to be harsher.
</p>
<p> ALAN CRANSTON (up for re-election in 1992). The California
Democrat is considered not only a lame duck but a dead duck.
An aide concedes, "He won by only 3% last time. He's never been
a good bet in '92."
</p>
<p> DENNIS DECONCINI (1994). The Arizona Democrat's approval
rating has never quite recovered from his damaging association
with the S&L king. He will hang on only if there is an outbreak
of amnesia.
</p>
<p> DONALD RIEGLE (1994). Fifty-five percent of voters say
they'll think twice about re-electing the Michigan Democrat,
who was a leading member of the banking committee during the
crisis.
</p>
<p> JOHN MCCAIN (1992). Unlike his Arizona colleague, this
Republican apologized early and often for his involvement with
Keating. The Vietnam War POW will likely survive the next
election.
</p>
<p> JOHN GLENN (1992). The Ohio Democrat has heard boos at home,
a once unthinkable phenomenon. But he is, after all, the first
American to orbit the earth. It will take a bigger legend to
beat him.
