Still, these are characters, not conflict. It is the other side of the inquiry that commands most of the attention and provides the true drama. Some of the witnesses have introduced an aura of science fiction. The close-cropped, superpolite male ingenues, Herbert Porter and Hugh Sloan Jr., seemed open-faced children of the '50s miraculously transported to the present. Assassinations, riots, urban crises, political and social unrest-all seem to have passed over or under them, as if, perhaps, they had never owned television sets. Their appearances prompted Historian Irving Kristol to report the ironic wail...
...reunion of Princeton's class of 1963 attracted as much buzzing attention as the pale, thin alumnus in a tan summer suit. Well-wishers from the class of 1948 stopped by to shake his hand, but conversation stopped short of his two days of Watergate testimony. Hugh ("Duke") Sloan Jr. was selling his house in Virginia and taking a job with the Budd Company, a manufacturer of transportation equipment in Philadelphia. "What was there to do?" he asked. "I would have just looked as if I was out there trying to slay dragons." Earlier in the spring, Sloan...
...most sought after wines. Demand continues to grow in the U.S., Asia and Europe. Not only are Americans drinking more table wine than ever* but Japan has had a stunning impact on the market.

...Hugh W. Sloan Jr., 32, former treasurer of C.R.P., testified that he distributed campaign funds for secret purposes with some misgivings. Whenever he asked for an explanation, he was put off. He finally got his answer the day after Watergate. He bumped into Liddy, who exclaimed: "My boys got caught last night. I made a mistake. I used somebody from here which I told them I would never do. I'm afraid I'm going to lose my job." A few days later, Magruder asked Sloan if he would agree to say that he had paid Liddy less...
Last week Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott, acting as a spokesman for the White House, sought to show that the present Administration has tapped fewer telephones than its predecessors. The number of national-security wiretaps during Nixon's first term amounted to 434, Scott declared, or about half the number (842) authorized during the Kennedy-Johnson Administration of 1961-64. The figures are misleading, however, since security wiretaps authorized by the Attorney General last year (108) were reported separately from those that were approved by federal judges at the Justice Department's request (206). Thus last year...
