...Agnew affair recedes, the court actions surrounding Watergate will bring that scandal back to center stage. Last week the grand jury directed by Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox returned its first indictment; there undoubtedly will be many more, with trials or guilty pleas to follow. The tapes decision of the appeals court-certainly a definitive one-will speedily move Nixon's case to the Supreme Court, carrying with it weighty judicial arguments against the President's position...
