Among the other papers that came out against Nixon at midweek were the San Francisco Chronicle, the Portland Oregonian, the New Orleans Times-Picayune & the Dallas Times-Herald.

...news broke in midweek, calling for quick action on the part of TIME'S twelve correspondents and photographers stationed in the Middle East. In Israel, Photographer David Rubinger took color pictures of Premier Golda Meir's jubilant announcement of the troop disengagement, but the event occurred too late to chance sending the film to New York by normal commercial air express. At 1 a.m., Thursday, Rubinger's wife Anni, herself a professional photographer, was dispatched as a courier, and by that afternoon she was in TIME'S Manhattan offices with the pictures...
