...have a new Attorney General." Sharp as it was, Nixon's attack on Attorney General Ramsey Clark was almost kind compared to what some of Clark's other critics have been saying. On Capitol Hill, Clark's foes, both Republican and Democrat, refer to him as "Cream Puff." One Congressman, Republican Durward Hall of Missouri, has gone so far as to urge his impeachment.
