...raiders were not roaming gangsters; they were federal narcotics agents on the hunt for illicit drugs. Since 1970, the narcs, as they are known, have been operating under the "no-knock" provisions of a law intended to allow them to burst into a dwelling without warning so that their quarry will not have time to dispose of any drugs. But in a number of incidents across the country, including those in Illinois, the agents have been accused of conducting unauthorized or overzealous assaults...
...Yankees are my choice to drop out of the hunt first, but not until late in the season. They figure to wind up about six or seven games off the winning pace. Their main strength appears to be a fairly sound mound staff, including perennial strong man Mel Stottlemyre, Fritz Peterson (who dealt his wife and his popularity to Mike Kekich last spring), Pat Dobson, Sam McDowell and Steve Kline...
HALDEMAN gave his account in testimony to the Ervin committee last July 30. Said Haldeman: "He [Dean] indicated concern about two problems, money and clemency.

Haldeman claimed that both Nixon and Dean had concluded that clemency could not be promised. Haldeman also contended that, specifically, the President had said it would be wrong to pay hush money. Nixon confirmed Haldeman's version that he and Dean had ruled out clemency, but claimed that...
...hush money could be misinterpreted at all. "My actions and directions were clear and very precise," he contended. But the indictment details a chain of actions by high Nixon officials, allegedly starting with Haldeman, right after the March 21 meeting that led to a delivery of $75,000 to Hunt's attorney that same evening. Asked about this, Nixon made no effort to explain how his "precise" orders could have been disobeyed. "I have no information as to when a payment was made," he said. "All I have information on is as to my own actions...
