...Your story on Mr. Nixon's counsel James St. Clair is well done: he is a good man doing a tough job. As the indictments continue to roll in and the wagon trains start to encircle the White House, however, it becomes increasingly evident that Mr. Nixon omitted perhaps the most powerful "enemy" of all from his list: truth...
...Jersey Democrat Rodino's exasperation over White House dawdling on the request for evidence was shared by the committee's ranking Republican, Edward Hutchinson of Michigan. He said that he could not understand why Nixon and his chief Watergate lawyer, James St. Clair, were resisting. "We're not after irrelevant matters," Hutchinson declared.

Nowhere in the songbook is the music of Ludwig van Beethoven ("The Fifth Symphony," "Missa Solemnis"), another talented foreigner. In fairness to editor Michael Scheff, it must be noted that Beethoven disliked...
