ENGLAND MADE ME is extracted-painfully-from a 1935 Graham Greene novel about moral and political decadence in Germany before World War II. The excellent Peter Finch appears as a brassbound industrialist named Krogh who traffics with the Nazis to sustain and increase his fortune. Michael York, who apparently wandered in from Cabaret still wearing his costume, impersonates the brother of Krogh's mistress (Hildegard Neil). There is much solemn and oblique conversation about impending crises, and the feeling prevails that the director, Peter Duffell, was rather too impressed with The Damned. There is, however, a splendid supporting performance...
...despite the preponderance of evidence against Agnew, Nixon's natural allies on the right feel betrayed by the President and at least for the moment some are inclined to take out their anger on Nixon, who they feel executed Agnew. Egil Krogh, another of Nixon's White House aides from the days of infamy, was indicted last week, a harbinger that Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox's vast apparatus is beginning to gather momentum in the courts. The Hughes money given to Bebe Rebozo for the Nixon campaign has an ominous ring. Is this...

Finally, Colson has admitted raising the private funds (he says $2,000; other sources say $5,000) to finance the Hunt-Liddy trip to Fielding's office, although Colson insists that...
Colson will be in familiar company when the Cox indictments are returned, since Krogh and the plumbers' supervisor, John Ehrlichman, are expected to be charged in connection with the Fielding raid. Young has been granted partial immunity. Krogh, Ehrlichman and Young were indicted on burglary charges by a local grand jury in Los Angeles. But Cox is expected to level a more serious charge, probably conspiracy to violate the civil rights of Ellsberg, and the California authorities will presumably allow the federal prosecution to take precedence...
Bail was set at a token $500 for the four former White House aides. As a courtesy, arrest warrants were delayed for a week to give them all time to get to Los Angeles. But they did not need the delay. Krogh surrendered almost immediately, pleaded not guilty and professed "some real regrets over what has taken place in terms of injuring innocent persons." Then came Young, then Ehrlichman, more tanned and thinner than he used to be. He pleaded not guilty and was taken off for fingerprinting and mug shots. Liddy, who is serving a sentence...
