Many conservative officeholders agree with North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms that "conservatives will make a serious error if they advocate that a President, if he is truly innocent, resign to appease a hostile press or even a majority of his countrymen." Senator Tower declares that for Nixon to resign when there are only "allegations of circumstantial evidence" against him would do "irreparable damage to the presidency." California's Reagan describes Buckley's call as "a little curve in the road," a departure from proper conservative ideology...
Instead of exploring these to anything resembling their full potential, what has The Crimson offered? A series of virtually personal attacks on a single person who, after the dust of the Crimson accounts has settled, seems to have committed an error of carelessness, not conspiracy, with no tangible harmful effects other than those produced by the shrill invectives of the "reporters."

Nixon had asked the committee to examine both this sale and the deduction for his papers. The probers have gone beyond these matters and apparently have discovered other Nixon tax errors. Insists Mills: "People can better understand a failure to pay taxes than they can understand Watergate. Overdeductions, failure to state income-this will be a report to the American people. And they...
