...count 14 candidates were running for Congress from Ohio's 23rd district, near Cleveland. In Winnetka, a suburb of Chicago, town meetings that were once sparsely attended are now overflowing with people. "The cliche is that good government begins at home," says Tom Donohue, chairman of the Winnetka nonpartisan caucus committee. "I think people are beginning to realize that that is true...
...nonprofit, nonpartisan council decided to look into Nixon's complaint. Discussions with Press Secretary Ron Ziegler and Ken Clawson, now director of White House communications, turned up six general areas of alleged TV bias, including coverage of the Christmas 1972 bombing of Hanoi and the "unfavorable" comments that accompanied news reports of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox's ouster last October.

AIM Executive Secretary Abraham H. Kalish, a former professor at the U.S. Defense Intelligence School, formally complained to the FCC that the NBC program gave "a grotesquely distorted picture" of the private pension systems in the U.S. He contended that AIM'S monitoring of NBC programs...
