...effect, but hold off their subsidy payment claims until the export subsidy rose. The subcommittee's small staff had gathered no evidence that Continental had done any such thing-but no one thought to ask Palmby about it. Earlier, Purcell's subcommittee had allowed Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz to avoid any discussion of specific market transactions concerning wheat on the ground that confidential trade secrets were involved. Butz admitted, after previous denials, that one of his aides had tipped off six large export companies about an impending change in subsidy policy...
...years old before, as far as I can remember, the word pornography ever crossed my lips in public." But after seeing the London production of Oh! Calcutta!, the seventh Earl of Longford rose in the House of Lords last year to deliver an anti-obscenity speech so stirring that it stirred the Earl himself to action. Last week an unofficial, privately financed 52-man committee chosen and headed by Longford, completed 16 months of investigation by publishing a 520-page report on pornography.

...Right now, 25% of my net profit comes out of subsidies."

But what does one hear from these men and women (females who are either family members or hold the crusading title, "Consumer Affairs Adviser?") Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz accuses McGovern of lying about the U.S.-Soviet Grain Deal, and days later Spiro Agnew announces an FBI investigation on the same topic (centering around the original charges made by McGovern). John Connally talks campaign money and Democrats-for-Nixon, but nothing else. Housing and Urban Development Secretary George...
...RESOLUTION TO IMPEACH RICHARD M. NIXON, read the headline of a two-page ad in the May 31 issue of the New York Times. Though John Birchers did their poor best to get Earl Warren impeached, some people are still shocked by the thought of trying to do it to the President. Angry pressmen at the Times at first refused to run off the issue. The President sent a White House aide to thank them for their brief attempt at supererogatory censorship, and the Times received more than 400 letters from readers, most of whom condemned publication...
