Lipset last night declined to confirm the report, but sources said that Lipset will become a research associate at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace...
...imprisoned for such contempt, the only effective recourse for the House in the case of a President apparently would be to add such defiance as another article of impeachment. For Nixon, however, failure to comply with the subpoena would have far more than symbolic impact; it would virtually confirm that there is incriminating material in the subpoenaed conversations that he is trying to hide...

But the ruins of the ship are so fragile that attempts to lift them from the ocean depths would probably cause the 112 year-old vessel to fall apart...
