...controlled a special fund at the Committee for the Re-Election of the President (C.R.P.); that White House intelligence-gathering activities involved at least 50 people; that John Mitchell feared he was "ruined" ten days after the Watergate breakin; and that witnesses had perjured themselves before the Watergate grand jury...
...relate to Udall's current campaign? The incident described occurred ten years ago, and, as is pointed out in the story, over the years Udall has gradually become more convinced of the necessity of conservation. Today he is actually co-sponsor of a bill prohibiting any dams in the Grand Canyon region. Is the story attempting to claim that Udall is inconsistent? Far from it.

...already being dirtied by other power plants in the area. The National Park Service agreed that the plant's emissions would harm the region; some 20% of the country's land managed by the National Park Service-including the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon and Capital Reef national parks-is located within 250 miles of the proposed plant site.

Collier and Horowitz make a convincing argument...
...Hubert Humphrey, who has been looking and sounding more like a candidate every day, it was just like the good old times. Before him, in the grand ballroom of Pittsburgh's Hilton Hotel, nearly 2,000 delegates to the annual Pennsylvania AFL-CIO convention exuberantly chanted: "We want Humphrey! We want Humphrey!" Four times during his speech he brought the crowd to its feet to cheer and applaud. The din even briefly drowned out his spirited attack on both the Ford Administration and on Democratic presidential candidates who have tried to make Washington an election issue. Said...
