...world's most famous believer in inerrancy is Evangelist Billy Graham, but the most controversial hard-liner today is the Rev. Jacob A.O. Preus, 54, a Minnesota Governor's son with a Ph.D. in classics. Preus' crackdown as president of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod led to the seminary walkout and the current threat of church wide schism. His personal view of Genesis includes a global flood in the Noah story and a six-day creation (though he leaves open to question how long the "days" were and how old the earth is). He believes literally in the Adam...
Mitchell's weak attempts to stonewall Neal's questioning so concerned some defense attorneys that one of them, Jacob Stein, protested to Sirica that Mitchell's "credibility" was adversely "affecting" the other defendants.

In fact, the American delegation did arrive in Quito intending to vote yes if an unbeatable majority developed. But as the vote neared, the aloof U.S. posture clearly worked against Cuba. An abstention frustrated a two-thirds majority almost as effectively as a negative ballot...
Among the re-elected Republican Senators were Barry Goldwater of Arizona, Robert Packwood of Oregon Charles Mathias Jr. of Maryland and Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania Jacob Javits of New York was a fairly comfortable winner; he received 45% of the vote in his race against former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, the Democratic nominee, who drew 39%, and Conservative Party Candidate Barbara Keating, who got 15%. Robert Dole of Kansas, who was Republican National Chairman in 1972, won by a whisker. Four months ago Dole thought he was "down the tube." But he managed to beat Obstetrician William Roy (by about...
