...Bipartisan Uproar. Mitchell apparently believed that he had been more than reasonably patient. Nevertheless the announcement, and the tactless manner in which it was handled, caused a bipartisan uproar. Only a few hours after Morgenthau received the letter asking for his resignation, the Administration named Whitney North Seymour Jr., a capable New York lawyer and former assistant U.S. attorney, as his successor. The net effect may be to force Seymour to wait until Morgenthau quits or until his term expires...
...further isolating his critics. Normally a President speaks to Congress only on formal occasions-to deliver a State of the Union address or a momentous special message. Last week, on less than 24 hours' notice, Nixon arrived to address the House for twelve minutes without notes, invoking the bipartisan spirit of U.S. foreign policy that had prevailed in his own days as a Representative during the Truman Administration. He declared: "When the security of America is involved, when the lives of our young men are involved, we are not Democrats, we are not Republicans, we are Americans." That statement...
...Easters "a more dovish position than existed before." Hampshiremen, by dialing 603 271-3535, could hear a tape of their Republican Governor, Walter Peterson, advising that "Oct. 15 can be a day of mature reflection on the proper leadership goals of a great nation." Vermonters were in for a bipartisan treat. Democratic ex-Governor Philip Hoff, an early McCarthy backer, and conservative Republican Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hayes agreed to speak at a rally?in the Bennington National Guard Armory. Following that: a candlelight march to the obelisk that commemorates the Battle of Bennington...
Haynsworth may not find bipartisan support quite as forthcoming as he tries to reply to a second allegation. The Judiciary Committee has learned that the judge, who sat on a 1967 case involving the Brunswick Corp., bought stock now valued at $18,000 between the time of the argument and the release of the decision in favor of the company. His friends see nothing wrong with his purchase and point out that he was only one of 48 who bought Brunswick shares from the same broker at the time. They also note that no substantial price fluctuations occurred between...
That judgment was disapprovingly shared by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. In a heavily documented 105-page report released last week, the commission accused the Administration of pulling back on school desegregation. The bipartisan body, established by Congress in 1957 and now chaired by University of Notre Dame President the Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, charged the Administration with attempting to justify its recent actions with statistics that give "an overly optimistic, misleading and inaccurate picture of the scope of desegregation actually achieved." It described the Administration's actions as "a major retreat in the struggle to achieve meaningful school...
