Although the Rodino staffs requests for documents thus had specific and legitimate aims, they were still portrayed by Nixon and St. Clair as too vague and extensive. Nixon said at Houston that the committee wanted to "bring a U-Haul trailer" up to the White House and carry out the presidential files. Members of Congress were bristling at such exaggerations. There was overwhelming sentiment in the Congress that it would not tolerate Nixon's withholding of evidence from the Rodino committee. Nevertheless, Ziegler insisted that the White House would not supply the evidence requested by the Rodino staff until...
Dearer Luxury. Under the CAB plan, which will take effect July 16, coach fares for long-haul flights (more than 750 miles) will be cut by as much as 5%, and short-haul coach fares will be raised by as much as 30%. As a result, the price of a one-way coach ticket for the 2,585-mile flight from Miami to San Francisco will drop from $167.59 to $158.33, and the fare for the 91-mile flight from Boston to Hartford will rise from $15.74 to $18.92. In addition, the board ordered an increase over the next...

Director Joseph Strick has made several other films (The Balcony, Ulysses), although it is not apparent here. Road Movie is a shambling hour and a half padded out with highway footage photographed from the truck's cab. The woman's character is the most interesting in the film, though there...
...street I turned right. Here hardware of all shapes and sizes was spread out in metallic tapestries--pipes, nails, hammers, funnels, axles, wire, hinges--all irregular and worn, many rusted and cracked. Again, mostly women were sitting behind the wares. The women sell, the men haul. Seated behind a small collection of knives made of rough-hewn steel and handles whittled from eucalyptus branches, a woman chatted away with a friend who carried a bag, on her way to buy some rice or vegetables for lunch. As she talked the seated woman smoothed out the shiny folds of her yellow...
