...official told TIME: "He knows all about the movement of money to Congressmen. He handled some of the cash himself. There's a myriad of potential law violations in what he's talking about." Because of the sensitivity of Kim's information, Attorney General Edward Levi ordered the FBI to withhold information about his disclosures. Said a high Justice Department official: "It's a real sticky mess...
...Western President Muammar Gaddafi flew into a rage about a mild satire of himself printed by the Turin daily La Stampa.

...White House Counsel John Dean, or only at the request of Republicans on the Banking Committee, as Ford claimed in the debate. Ford declined to urge that Nixon tapes of the period be examined. He was misleading in claiming that both the Watergate special prosecutor and Attorney General Edward Levi had investigated the topic and cleared him; they had merely refused to open full investigations into it. As the Los Angeles Times Jack Nelson pointed out, a clearer explanation could reasonably be asked of Ford. Carter scored by declining-for the first time in any of the debates-to comment...
