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.

"An argument with some validity," Flym says, "would have been that the trustees do not have any authority to take such action...
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...
