Jaworski conceded in an ABC television interview that much evidence had been acquired from the White House-a quantity later detailed by Deputy Presidential Press Secretary Gerald Warren as 17 tapes and some 700 documents. But the special prosecutor disputed Nix on's public statement that all of the material had been surrendered "voluntarily." Said Jaworski: "Any idea that this material has been spoon-fed to me is in error. I have had to go after it. I have had to designate precisely what I wanted." It is, of course, the nature of specific evidence, rather than mere quantity...
Sniper Shots. Though many independents stayed home or picketed peacefully, the week leading up to the settlement exploded in violence as the more mindless owner-drivers tried to sweep the highways clear of trucks by intimidating nonstriking truckers.

His most quoted headline was penned early on in his career: STICKS NIX HICK...
...Nixon Administration has developed a new language-a kind of Nix-speak. Government officials are entitled to make flat statements one day, and the next day reverse field with the simple phrase, "I misspoke myself." White House Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler enlarged the vocabulary last week, declaring that all of Nixon's previous statements on Watergate were "inoperative." Not incorrect, not misinformed, not untrue-simply inoperative, like batteries gone dead. Euphemisms notwithstanding, the Nixon Administration's verbal record on Watergate is enough to turn ardent believers into skeptics. Some examples of "inoperative" statements from Administration officials who misspoke...
