South Carolinian Harry Dent is an old-fashioned back room political operative, a presidential counselor and one of the Nixon Administration's liaison men with the South. At a meeting with a group of regional newsmen whom he took to be good old Southern boys, Dent observed that the President's plan to review all court-ordered busing might lead to the elimination of most Southern busing plans to achieve racial balance in schools. When asked how the blacks on Nixon's staff would react to that kind of a civil rights retreat, Dent joked...
Besides being a racist--and, of course, a killer--Doyle is also a bit of a boot-fetishist. One scene showing him in his apartment after an alienated liaison with a nameless woman wearing a particularly amazing pair of purple and vinyl boots, typifies the atmosphere of the film. The room is bare and cold; the furniture lacks unity or warmth; clothes, papers, and boots are strewn about everywhere. The point is made subtly that Doyle lives in a world of moral chaos, like his room; it is a world without standards, in which the chase and the capture...
Faced with a parade of waffling witnesses, the Senators sought clarification from the White House and invited Peter Flanigan, President Nixon's top liaison aide with big business, to testify.

Eastland "the principle that members of the President's immediate staff not appear and testify before congressional committees with respect to the performance of their duties." It is on such grounds that Presidential Assistant, Henry Kissinger, has avoided repeated invitations to testify before...

During the 90-minute operations, Drouin apparently became confused. Working "up to his elbows," as he put it later, he mixed up the different clamps he used to mark the ends of the bypassed small intestine. As a result, he hooked the ileum to the colon, connected the end of the small intestine to the jejunum (see diagram...
...Drouin now faces an investigation by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, which has the power to revoke medical licenses. After hearing hospital personnel tell about missing reports and erroneous or unkept records, the coroner's jury cited the Montfort Hospital for a "considerable lack of liaison between the various departments" and urged it to adopt better administrative practices. It also heard testimony about other patients' postoperative problems (one woman told of an overwhelming though inexplicable desire to eat mud) which raised new doubts about weight-loss surgery...
