...could clinch the arguments of the prosecution. At the same time, however, at least one of the Watergate defendants has already indicated that he wants Nixon to testify as a defense witness. Before Ford's pardon, Ehrlichman subpoenaed Nixon to testify, hoping apparently that Nixon would support his claim that he was led into thinking that national-security considerations justified the coverup...

They also claim that tests have banished two early fears about the bags: that they would inflate accidentally when there was no collision, and that they might pop open with such force as to injure children. In millions of test miles driven, that just has not happened. The bags do have some drawbacks...
