...very difficult to believe that Rose Mary Woods accidentally erased 18 minutes of tape [Dec. 10]. I have been an executive secretary for 20 years, have transcribed from many different kinds of recording machines, and cannot, in all good conscience, believe her statement that she pressed the wrong button. When working on a transcribing machine, you always have uppermost in your mind that you will press the right button because the recorded word is so very important-more so in her case than any other...
...Singer Tex Ritter a record of excerpts from Nixon speeches narrated by Ritter and titled Thank You, Mr. President. He received petitions of support signed by 46,000 people in Shreveport and Bossier City, La. At twilight Friday, Nixon, applauded by Boy Scouts and Camp Fire girls, pushed a button to light a star atop the nation's Christmas tree on the Ellipse south of the White House...
...Haldeman on June 20, 1972 -three days after the Watergate break-in-was erased. White House aides have tried to pin the blame on Secretary Rose Mary Woods, who admits to the possibility of having accidentally erased "four to five minutes" of the tape by mistakenly pressing the "record" button, evidently while keeping her foot on the pedal that advanced the tape.

...industrialists whom Nixon so peculiarly fails to mention. Business produced and created demand for "energy-saving devices," like electric tooth-brushes and non-defrosting refrigerators, which use up far more energy than what they replaced. It is silly to think that devices like self-cleaning ovens and push-button car windows are here only because consumers want them. They are manufactured and popularized by businessmen concerned with profit, not with providing the public with what it needs and wants. Imagine, for example, the altruistic motives of the man who figured out how to make a car antenna...
...Jones figures to be the pros' No. 1 draft choice this year. With 4.7 sec. speed in the 40-yd. dash, he is "frighteningly intense," say the scouts-a "real door jam" against the offense. He led Tennessee State to an undefeated season this year (TIME, Nov. 12). Button is the man "who takes the play out of the play action pass." Deceptively agile for his size and "very tough to fake or trap on a rollout," he has been a standout for Nebraska for three years. Tackles: (3) DAVE GALLAGHER, Michigan...
