...requesting and suggesting pictures. "TIME'S photographers," says Durniak, "are seeking in their subjects glances and gestures-visual facts-that add information-not decoration-to the text." For this week's cover story Pulitzer Prizewinning Photographer David Hume Kennerly shot 14 rolls of film of James St. Clair to produce the photos that appear in the magazine; one became the cover portrait...
Richard Nixon is rapidly running out of options in his struggle to survive Watergate. Last week he exercised a fresh one. Pushing his Special Counsel James St. Clair out front in a political as well as a legal role, Nixon embarked on a drive to save himself by appealing directly to the public and assailing the tactics of the House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating his conduct in office. It was much too early to assess public reaction, but the impact on the House of Representatives was immediate. The tactic backfired, and impeachment sentiment rose...

The President said that he would not allow anyone "to cart everything that is in the White House down to a committee and to have them paw through it on a fishing expedition."

St. Clair complained that the committee seemed to be asking for "hundreds of thousands of documents and thousands of hours of recorded conversations covering the widest variety of subjects." He suggested that the committee...

He refuses to detail what acts that definition would either embrace or exclude. Apparently, however, it would exclude the President's income tax problems, which are nongovernmental, and any campaign-funding violations, because running for office is not an official duty. Some top Washington lawyers consider St. Clair's contention to be merely legalistic sparring with the Rodino committee, which will in no way be limited by any White House definition...
Presidential Counsel St. Clair issued a statement arguing that to give more materials to Jaworski would result in "delaying grand jury deliberations many months." St. Clair did not explain how additional evidence would slow, rather than speed indictments. The statement did, however, fit the current presidential defense strategy, which is to push publicly for a fast end to the many Watergate investigations, while acting privately to stall and delay any quick resolution of Nixon's own fate. The President's hope apparently is that a Watergate-weary public will lose all interest in the sorry affair...
