Wright spent 34 years in Congress, serving under eight presidents before resigning in 1989 after the House Ethics Committee charged him with 69 ethics violations. Wright, 68, said he mostly will use anecdotes to teach the class at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.The Ethics Committee accused him of using bulk sales of his book, "Reflections of a Public Man," to evade limits on outside income. He also was accused of improperly taking gifts from a developer friend.
