...clear warning last week to the President, House Minority Leader John Rhodes of Arizona said: "The committee will have to be convinced that all of the relevant material is made available." He has suggested that the committee might agree to a compromise that would permit Rodino, Ranking Republican Edward Hutchinson of Michigan, Chief Counsel John Doar and Minority Counsel Albert Jenner to listen to the tapes and excise the irrelevant portions. Nixon gave no hint that he might accept such a verification process, but it could not be ruled...

"We're not after state secrets." Rodino explained that the committee wanted only "specific evidence of specific acts of specific relevance to our inquiry." The committee had waited "40 days and 40 nights" and still did not have a satisfactory White House reply...
Even hardened criminals in the Kansas state industrial reformatory in Hutchinson might have shivered a bit when they learned the news: a self-proclaimed witch was in the prison. He was not a convict but Robert J. Williams, 45, one of the three staff psychologists. Williams is a member of what he calls the Gardnerian sect, an occult paganistic group that worships a two-headed, male-female godhead and performs some of its ceremonies in the nude (and refers to both male and female mem bers as witches).
