Nixon will not be easily budged from the premise that expensive, far-reaching social welfare efforts are futile if the war continues indefinitely or if the economy goes sour. Nor is Congress in the mood for grandiose programs right now. Viet Nam and inflation, together with crime and unrest, remain the President's first orders of business. As he told a G.O.P. women's conference: "I ask the women in this audience to hold me and all of my Cabinet colleagues responsible on those three great issues. I will make this promise: next year I will be able...
Humphrey's Charge. Nixon's first specific crime-control proposals also have political implications. Law and order became an issue last year primarily because of ubiquitous street violence, whether perpetrated by the lone mugger or the faceless mob. The President's recommendations last week aimed at the well-nigh invisible activities of organized crime (see LAW). Attacks by multi-agency "strike forces" will be expanded.

Many might have escaped prosecution altogether if the statute of limitations had been allowed to stand. In addition, there...
...Cabinet centered on the issue of who in the future should be regarded as a war criminal. Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger argued that "our job is to bring to justice the mass murderer, the beast in human form." Most of his Christian Democrat ministers favored excluding from the war crime category those Germans whose offenses were relatively small and who had only been following orders. But the Social Democrats held that it was impossible to make such a distinction and their view prevailed. In fact, the Cabinet agreed to remove the statute of limitations from all forms of violent murder, including...
