...perhaps by not renewing the company's broadcasting licenses. Said Nixon: "The Post is going to have damnable, damnable problems out of this one." (This passage was not released by the White House, but it turned up in a fuller transcript leaked by sources on the Judiciary Committee.) On Feb. 28 Nixon mentioned the pressure that Charles Colson had attempted to bring on news executives, particularly the TV networks, and observed, "Well, one hell of a lot of people don't give one damn about this issue of suppression of the press." On March 27 Nixon advised Ziegler...
...Leon Jaworski's subpoena for 64 tapes. St. Clair petitioned the Supreme Court to consider as part of that case whether a grand jury had the authority to name the President as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Watergate coverup, as it had secretly voted to do last Feb. 25, and, if so, whether it had acted on the basis of sufficient evidence. He also asked Judge Sirica to forward the grand jury proceedings both to the Supreme Court and to himself-but not necessarily to the public-to prepare for such an argument. St. Clair contends that...
Schlesinger said that the missile improvements were needed to give the U.S. the ability to mount a limited retaliatory nuclear attack on Soviet military forces and installations, including hardened missile sites, without also obliterating population centers (TIME cover, Feb. 11).

In January, three Soviet diplomats and two of their wives were expelled from Peking after being caught redhanded, according to the Chinese, in the act of making contact with a pro-Soviet Chinese agent (TIME, Feb. 4). That alleged bit of espionage intensified an already lengthy campaign of anti-Soviet propaganda by Peking's press on every subject from Russia's economic assistance ("plunder") to disarmament ("a swindle") to Moscow's policies in Southeast Asia ("a fond dream of building a greater Russian...
...Henry Alfred Kissinger," said TIME in our first cover story on him five years ago, "is not exactly a household name." Since that issue (Feb. 14, 1969), we have published nine other cover stories on him, more than on any other man except Presidents Eisenhower, Johnson and Nixon and France's Charles de Gaulle. Kissinger has appeared as a member of "Nixon's Palace Guard" (June 8, 1970), "Nixon's Secret Agent" (Feb. 7, 1972), Man of the Year (with Nixon, Jan. 1, 1973) and, on his elevation to Cabinet rank, "The Super Secretary" (Sept...
