...THIS YEAR'S seniors have learned anything from Watergate, they have learned that Watergate lecturers rarely have anything to say, and certainly aren't likely to say it for less than the $25,000 an hour H.R.

As he left the courtroom, he autographed a huge photo of Nixon for a group of youths. Ehrlichman, who claims to be $400,000 in debt already to his lawyers, came away with only one marginal break from Judge Sirica: if all appeals fail, he will be allowed to serve his new prison term concurrently with a 20-month minimum sentence for conspiracy in the Daniel Ellsberg...
