...Chemical Bank? Why did the Justice Department close its investigation into the Calhoun overdrafts the day before Lance was nominated as OMB director? Was it really common practice, as stated by Jody Powell, for small-town bankers to overdraw their accounts? And why was only a cursory mention made of the comptroller's investigation during Lance's confirmation hearings? Could internal memos at Manufacturers Hanover Trust be so specific about a 20% compensating balance between NBG's correspondent account and Lance's personal loan of $2.6 million without Lance knowing about or even discussing such...
Defending the Indefensible Lasky is shakiest in trying to rationalize Nixon's transgressions. He suggests that Nixon was hounded from office by a hostile press only because of the Watergate burglary -which Lasky still describes as a "third-rate" caper. He makes no mention at all of the White House payoffs to the convicted burglars to buy their silence.

In addition, says Leonard Beerman, "I'm frightened that the values of Judaism that have to do with civil rights and the rights of national minorities of small peoples to self-determination would be compromised if the West Bank were incorporated into Israel. That, to me, would be very...
...dollar empire cannot even be calculated (much of it is in future royalties). According to the terms of his will filed in a Tennessee court last week, Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, 62, is instructed to divide the estate among family members as he sees fit. The only kin mentioned were Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie, 9, and his grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley, 85. The document, signed last March, makes no bequest to the singer's ex-wife Priscilla, 32, or his fiancee, Ginger Alden, 20, who found his body in the bathroom. Nor does Presley's will...
