...onslaught was led by a bizarre alliance of Communist and Latin American countries. According to these delegations, overpopulation is a myth invented by the rich to exploit and subjugate the poor. Soviet Deputy Minister of Health Lev Volodarsky contended that high population-growth rates have "nothing to do with the real reason for backwardness and only serve to distract attention from needed social reforms." Huang Shu-tse, Deputy Minister of Health for China, which has the world's greatest population (800 million), declared that development lags were caused by exploitation by both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R...

Until the Judiciary Committee vote, Nixon and his aides had attempted to exploit partisan divisions on the panel. Ziegler went so far as to disparage its proceedings as a "kangaroo court." That strategy was shattered, however, by the defection of six Republicans in support of one article of impeachment, seven in support of another, the introduction of a third by a senior Republican. Now a new course had to be found...
