...House Judiciary Committee is about to define what it considers to be "impeachable offenses." Almost certainly, its definitions will be broad and will not require evidence of criminal activity by Nixon. As the first step, the committee's Chief Counsel John M. Doar and Minority Counsel Albert Jenner this week will submit a report outlining just what kinds of acts the committee's staff of legal specialists deem to be impeachable. The report is expected to say that betrayals of public trust and gross neglect of official duties fall into the category of the "high crimes and misdemeanors...

Jenner knew nothing about the immune system, but he had recognized that milkmaids who frequently came in contact with cows suffering from cowpox seldom contracted smallpox. Scientists began to suspect that the body had a mechanism for identifying and combatting disease agents only after Louis Pasteur discovered...
