...conservative Senator, Republican Milton R. Young of North Dakota, pointed out that Nixon need not resign to leave voluntarily. Young, who is running for re-election this November, said: "He's getting in deeper trouble all the time. It's a question of whether he can continue as President. It would be a whole lot easier for members of Congress and myself if he used the 25th Amendment and stepped aside until this thing is cleared up."

A doctor in Houston promised me a pinto quarter horse if I would just stay the same and not get stuck up for two years. I've got about eight months...
...this more than just a pleasant trot is the obvious strong feeling that L'Amour has for the West as it really was. His great-grandfather was scalped by the Sioux (which may or may not have awakened young Louis' interest), and he was raised in North Dakota. He now lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children. Not only has L'Amour done vast library research, but he also spends many days with his family hiking over mountain trails in California and Colorado. In addition, he is involved with a plan to build...
