Who was on trial here? Only Donovan, right? Where the "minority owners" accused of anything? Is it a crime to be a front? Who was accused of what?
I'm not trying to assert that wrongdoing did or did not occur. But people are looking to Wikipedia for a reference, and this isn't clearing anything up. -- Uncle Ed 15:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Was this an instance of gotcha politics? That is, "get Donovan" merely because he worked for President Reagan?
Or were people genuinely concerned about corruption in the minority setaside programs which mandate a certain percentage of government contracts be given to reverse discrimination against minorities? (Don't get me wrong, I'm not justifying discrimination. But I want to know WHY they went after Donovan - when I haven't heard of anyone else actually CONVICTED on similar charges.) -- Uncle Ed 15:58, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
I've updated the section on Ray's trial and subsequent quote, cleaning up the English and fixing the quote. The source is The Natural by Joe Klein, but alas I don't know how to reference a printed book. Jersey72 22:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
there should be a link to the upcoming tv series of the same name (on showtime) -- 87.172.247.96 ( talk) 10:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
