...them," said Tax Lawyer Michael Fox of Chicago. New York Accounting Professor Abe Briloff found the pattern of errors in Nixon's returns "so egregious" that he believes that "they were not mere inadvertences but a carefully orchestrated, finely tuned program." San Francisco Attorney William Coblenz, who counts the Hearst family among his clients, believes that "the joint tax committee was, if anything, a little easy on President Nixon.
