There are still many dark corners in the Watergate maze, however. The Los Angeles Times pried out another grand jury secret when it finally confirmed that the jurors had voted to name Nixon as an unindicted coconspirator. That put to rest months of rumor. The transcripts of Nixon's conversations with his aides, as released by the White House, were ostensibly a full and accurate account intended to set the record straight on many disputed points. But when the House Judiciary Committee began comparing the written version with the actual tape recordings from which they were drawn, discrepancies arose...
...several years now Americans have been hearing a somber new slogan: "Death with dignity." Meaning: the American way of death has become too technological, often condemning a patient to a lingering and painful end in which he is kept artificially alive by a maze of tubes and life-support machines. To prevent such dehumanizing procedures, the advocates of death with dignity recommend that doctors be allowed to cease extraordinary lifesaving efforts when it is clear that the patient is beyond further help.

...graduate of Cleveland's State University law school (where he won his degree magna cum laude while working as a newsman for a local TV station), Stern has knowledgeably interpreted every legal zigzag in the Watergate maze since he covered the arraignment of the original five burglars. Further, in a rare use of the 1967 Freedom of Information Act, Stern successfully sued the FBI to secure records-the latest of which were released to him last week-showing how the FBI, under J. Edgar Hoover, had mounted a nationwide harassment campaign against militant black and leftist radical groups...
...Crimson came out charging in the second period, scoring at 2:08 on a Tom Clarke 20 footer through a maze of players. Harvard continued to press in the Yale zone, but some fine Yale goaltending kept the Crimson off the board. Yale finally tallied at 16:05 on a 2-on-1 break, with Harvard goalie Larry Ward not having a chance...
