...pardon decision was like gasoline poured on those smoldering doubts. The Baltimore Sun called the move "an affront to the principle of equal justice under law, the very foundation of our legal system." NBC News Anchor Man John Chancellor said that he thought terHorst "did exactly the right thing" in resigning over the pardon. Even the Grand Rapids Press, Ford's home-town paper, asked: "How can President Ford clear himself with the public after telling Congress, during his vice-presidential nomination hearing, that a President would have the power to pardon his predecessor, 'but the people wouldn...
...station in Boston, turns over a half-hour every day to nonprofit and other community groups to use as they please; its seven-month-old program. Catch 44, is booked solidly three months in advance. Even the networks have begun loosening up their nightly news formats. NBC'S anchor man John Chancellor last spring introduced "Editor's Notebook," an occasional entry designed, as he puts it, for "catching up on stories we never finished, correcting those on which we made mistakes, and generally dropping the other shoe."

He began condemning "welfare cheaters" and appointed a state inspector to weed out fraud on the relief rolls. He declared war on drug pushers by winning passage of a bill mandating a life sentence for anyone convicted of selling hard drugs. When a revolt broke out among convicts at Attica state prison in 1971, he refused to meet with the rebels as they demanded. When they failed...
Unblinking Coverage. The same could not be said for newsmen from ABC, which drew the Wednesday session under the networks' rotating-coverage plan (only the Public Broadcasting Service carried every meeting). When the committee was slow to reconvene after a bomb threat, Co-Anchor Man Howard K. Smith quipped unfunnily that the Representatives could "use a good TV director." At the end of the session, Smith concluded that he "would hate to spend three hours a night, 365 days a year" watching congressional committees in action-a bit of instant disparagement that seemed totally out of place...
