Dear George:

HE’S MAKING HIS LIST AND CHECKING IT TWICE. PRESIDENT Bush, that is; and the list includes Caspar Weinberger, Clair George and others hoping that Bush will invoke executive clemency to pardon them before he leaves office next month. Add JONATHAN JAY POLLARD, now in his eighth year of a life term in Marion, Illinois, for spying for Israel. Pollard’s attorney has asked for a commutation of sentence, arguing that his client’s life term was much harsher than those meted out to other recently convicted spies. President-elect Clinton has said he favors a review of the sentencing.
