White Paper. What was certain was that Nixon was orchestrating a major campaign to win public support for a limited response to the subpoena, apparently in hopes of forcing the committee to accept it. An aide said that the blitz probably would include a prime-time television speech. In addition, White House Speechwriter Ray Price worked all week on a White Paper to explain Nixon's reasons for not turning the tapes over to the committee. Senior presidential aides-among them Dean Burch and St. Clair-were offered to television networks for interviews this week...
...detractors fear that such nostalgia could ignite latent neo-fascism today. The liberal weekly Die Zeit attacked it as a slickly packaged Making of Der Führer. Conservative readers are already complaining that Reich maligns and distorts Nazism's objectives. The magazine's advance promotional blitz was particularly upsetting. It featured decorative political posters of the '30s, tiny swastika flags, and throwaway recordings of Nazi party speeches. That tactic, charged a West Berlin court prosecutor, tended to glorify the era, suggesting that Hitler's Reich was fun. After a Berlin court agreed, police raided newsstands...
...some Eastern distance freestyle titles from the clutches of Haydon, but nevertheless became the first Harvard swimmer ever to break the 16-minute barrier in the mile, and 4:40 in the 500.

Some great swims, some even greater times, and an even more amazing season. The fact that the Eastern title won't be Harvard's for at least another year is really the least of the story...
...king of the record business; he falls for a sweet young thing, innocent ward of the neighborhood preacher, and then shows up the preacher's God-stricken ranting and moaning and raving as plain lechery. His ambition as a rock star thwarted, he joins the genga trade--shots of blitz-eyed traders wearing shades and a leopard skin vest he twirls two pistols in parody--the Western hero turned outcase. One the run, a hunted man, his record becomes a super hit; a doomed man, he reaps a martyr's glory--at this point the movie gets boring--he dodges...
Once more a presidential counterattack on Watergate was under way. For no less than the 13th time since the scandal began to unfold eight months ago, Richard Nixon vowed to disclose all of the facts and put the sorry affair to rest. After a blitz of nine White House meetings and two public appearances, he had shed little new light on the controversy. But he had emerged, however belatedly, out of isolation and boldly entered the public arena, where the fate of his presidency will be determined...
