...HALDEMAN, 47. As Nixon's stern chief of staff, the former California advertising executive once noted on a memo returned to a White House aide: "I'll approve of whatever will work and am concerned with 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...
GORDON C. STRACHAN, 30. A former junior member of the Nixon-Mitchell law firm in New York, Strachan was Haldeman's chief aide in the White House. He later became general counsel of the U.S. Information Agency as part of a White House effort to exert greater control over the federal bureaucracy...

Trials normally are scheduled to begin within 60 days after indictment, although delays can be sought by either defenders or prosecutors. Though defense attorneys may object...

In his televised testimony before the Ervin committee last July 30 and 31, Haldeman told of listening to a tape of a conversation among Nixon, John Dean and, for a time, himself that had taken place on March 21, 1973. The indictment contends that Haldeman committed perjury when he related his version of what the tape records. Since the jurors have heard the tape, the conclusion is inescapable that it does not confirm Haldeman's testimony...
...details of this charge also strongly support Dean's televised testimony about this conversation?and impugn Nixon's public statements about the talk. To a surprising degree, Haldeman's testimony had verified Dean's recollection of the conversation, although Dean had thought that parts of it had occurred earlier, on March...
