...major new Nixon move was imminent. Ominously, House Republican Leader John Rhodes postponed a press conference scheduled for Monday, at which he had been expected to say how he would vote on impeachment. He pleaded the discomfort of a sore throat, which was true. But at home in suburban Maryland, he had received a call from Haig. The chief of staff asked him to delay his news conference. Why? There was "new information," said Haig. "Can you tell me any more about it?" the Congressman inquired. "No," replied the general. "You will be briefed tomorrow about it. Believe...
Another close friend of Ford's-and an extremely dark horse among the vice-presidential possibilities-is Interior Secretary Rogers Morton. A former Representative from Maryland and Republican national committee chairman from 1969 to 1971, Morton is a conservative but has few enemies among either Republicans or Democrats.

His mail, which at one point ran almost ten times the normal flow, was often angry and bitter. Constituents called him "Brutus," "Judas" and "Benedict Arnold"; representatives of 100 American Legion posts said they were afraid he would come out next in favor of amnesty for draft evaders and deserters (Hogan is an outspoken opponent of amnesty); there were even three telephoned threats on his life...
...favored to get his party's nomination, and as before he remains an underdog against Incumbent Marvin Mandel in a state where 69% of the voters are Democrats. But instant fame as a result of Judiciary Committee publicity may help his cause. He still has the support of Maryland's U.S. Senators-both Republicans-and his pro-impeachment stand will enable him to pick up a lot of independent and Democratic votes...
