Nixon, against charges that he accepted a $10,000 bribe in return for using his influence to secure a 1971 hike in milk-price supports. The lawyer heading the Government's three-man team of prosecutors is Cyclist Tuerkheimer. Outwardly, the case seems to be a classic example of a storied defense attorney pitted against an obscure Government lawyer. Occasionally, say legal experts, such mismatches have helped give criminal lawyers...
