...Richardson, there is almost certainly no effective means of avoiding more and more such run-ins with his superiors in the future. He irritated the White House by appointing Archibald Cox as Watergate Special Prosecutor. Technically, the Attorney General remains Cox's boss. Cox, a Democrat and former Harvard law professor, has engaged the White House in a historic court battle over the Watergate tapes (see following story), and is regarded incorrectly by many Nixon loyalists as out to "get" the President.

...will be calling. President Kennedy, for instance got The Crimson every day at the White House. Harvard students soon get accustomed to dealing with important people. One day John T.

The other day, when Cox contemplated the possibility that he could be fired by Nixon, he chuckled and allowed as how the President would have to fire Richardson too and in the current medieval atmosphere that might prove hard to do. Every move and every word of Richardson are scrutinized, and since he still...
