...results?not methods." The most formidable guardian of Nixon's Oval Office, Haldeman curtly and coldly ran a staff that protected the President against unwanted intrusions and unappreciated advice. Haldeman is charged with conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and three counts of perjury in his public testimony before Senator Sam Ervin's select Senate committee...
Solzhenitsyn, like all the recent heroes of the establishment press--Sam Ervin, Howard Baker, Lowell Weicker, and so on--is the wrong kind of hero to take hold of America. Those facets of his life which would upset a hero's image stand too close to the surface to be abstracted into a legend. For example, he lives as a millionaire in Switzerland. He calls for the revival of the Russian Orthodox church, a brutal arm of czarist oppression before 1917. He branded former Attorney General Ramsey Clark a "fluttering butterfly" for ignoring Russian dissidents, but visiting POW camps...
...weekly's 72-page premiere issue is crammed with names, some famous (Queen Elizabeth, Sam Ervin), some unsung (Air Force Major Thomas T.

Black-and-white or monochrome pictures illustrate nearly every story; some items run at around...
Watergate has some all but incalculable costs.

Grand juries in New York, Los Angeles, Houston and Orlando have looked into Watergate matters. Dozens of employees of the FBI, the Justice Department, the Internal Revenue Service and the General Accounting Office have been drawn into the vortex...
...weeks ago, Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee, Republican vice chairman of the Ervin committee, learned that the CIA's offices until recently were equipped with a tape-recording system similar to the one that was in the White House until last summer. Since there were known to have been meetings or telephone calls between the White House "plumbers" and CIA personnel, it occurred to Baker that he might be able to get tape recordings of these conversations from the agency's files. When he asked about the tapes, however, he was told that they had all been destroyed...
