...Says Bluffton College Psychology Professor (and Monopoly Fan) William J. Beausay: "All men have to have a strong motivator to compensate for loss of sex for two years." The board, no doubt, will be redesigned to take note of such choice Martian real estate as Elysium, Electris, Hellas and Nix Olympica...
Last week's indictment of the seven men brought the number of former Nix on agents charged or convicted in the scandal to 25 (see box page 20).

...tergate defense team (Lawyers J. Fred Buzhardt, Leonard Garment and Charles Alan Wright) in preparing a constitutional defense that would prevent his having to go on trial any time soon. The White House lawyers were specifically asked to ex plore the possibility that the Vice President might adopt Nix on's own argument that a President (or Vice President) cannot be criminally prosecuted until after he has been impeached, convicted and removed from of fice by Congress. The chances of an Agnew impeachment are not very strong at present, but the prospect of an other client's demanding...
