...spurious proceeding," he added, would have amounted to "unprofessional conduct" on his part. Jaworski strongly urged that his top deputy, Henry S. (Hank) Ruth Jr., be named his successor. Ruth, a quiet but effective attorney from Pennsylvania, had also served as deputy to the first special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, and had helped hold the staff together after Nixon ordered Cox fired last Oct. 20.

He had also managed to disregard much of the evidence against Nixon until it was too devastating to ignore. In returning to the Army, Haig now faces considerable Pentagon resentment from officers...
...days after the pardon, Tricia Nixon Cox's husband Edward telephoned the Associated Press to report that the former President "is in a deep depression" despite the pardon. Cox would not allow his name to be used in the report. Later in the week, David Eisenhower focused on his father-in-law's physical condition, which he said was poor...
