Thieu approved President Nixon's May 14 speech before it was delivered. But partly as a result of subsequent reporting out of Washington, he discovered hidden nuances that disturbed him.

Fortas' letter did not mention the $20,000. Nor did Fortas-who is a rich man, a legal scholar, a violin virtuoso and a collector of art and antiques-really address himself to the key question posed by LIFE: Why would a man of his legal brilliance and high position do business with a well-known corporate-stock manipulator known to be under federal investigation...
