...stage is thus finally set for a full and hard-hitting inquiry in which any protection of the men around Nixon???or of the President himself?will be most unlikely. The federal grand jury in Washington, which has been looking into the Watergate case since last summer, will continue to take testimony from all the suspects and from other witnesses. Senator Sam Ervin's Select Committee on Campaign Practices expects to begin televised hearings next week on Watergate and Republican campaign-disruption tactics...
...Unlike their colleagues of the written word, cartoonists found the campaign an easy mark. The Denver Post's Oliphant was consistently on target, and that target was Nixon???Nixon grimly outfitting Agnew with a fright wig and electric guitar for the benefit of the 18-year-old voters, Nixon attacked by creeping "Watergate bugs."

Their answers are not a forecast but a reading of present sentiment; any number of factors could change the situation. Nor do these reports attempt to judge other candidates who might do as well or better against Nixon...
While the controversy was building, the man at the very center of it?Richard M. Nixon???had retired from the battle. From the Western White House, near Casa Pacifica, his oceanside home in San Clemente, the President kept in close touch with his economic advisers back in Washington. He scheduled stops in Ohio and Illinois on his return trip, during which he will undoubtedly resume a strong defense of his program. But for the time being, Nixon was content to remain serenely above the fray. He took a daily swim in his pool (a tanker had spilled oil near Nixon...
