...admitted. Inspection efforts have been hampered because much of the stock is either buried beneath rubble or stored in leaking canisters that pose health risks. U.N. inspectors were recently treated to a sampling of the remaining inventory when Iraqis, instructed to destroy bomb- and artillery-shell casings, scattered a dose of unidentified chemicals just upwind of the U.N. team...
...food and drug industry lawyers had heard it all before. Now, here was the freshly minted FDA commissioner, still wet behind the ears at 39, giving them the usual dose of tough talk. "Ladies and gentlemen," David Kessler began, "I am here today to tell you that I place a high priority on enforcing the law." The attorneys, convened in a Palm Beach hotel, nodded obligingly. "This is not the idle talk of a new commissioner," Kessler continued, to more polite nods. Then came the surprise. "Today the U.S. Attorney's office in Minneapolis is filing on FDA's behalf...

Full of sentence fragments and garbled syntax, a cross between Valley Girl-speak and locker- room profanity, the tapes reveal Nixon in the raw, unimproved by speechwriters, aides or editors. Contrast his statesmanlike published prose on the Soviet Union's "strategic challenge of global proportion, which requires a renewed strategic consciousness" with this typical passage from the tapes about sacking IRS Commissioner Johnnie Walters...
