- GRAPEVINE, Page 9He Didn't Give at the Office

- Defending the CIA officials who were embroiled in the
- Iran-contra affair is an expensive business (the ongoing trial
- of former senior spook Clair George will cost more than $1
- million). Which is why a privately sponsored legal-defense fund
- has been asking CIA employees -- past and present -- to give
- generously. So far, former directors William Webster, Richard
- Helms, Stansfield Turner, William Colby and James Schlesinger
- have all chipped in. The exception: ex-CIA director GEORGE BUSH.
- While putting the bite on Bush would be crass, agency loyalists
- may reason that he just might be called upon to help Clair
- George with something money cannot buy: a pardon.
