...wait for Blotner's. Cleanth Brooks will eventually come out, I hope, with his second volume of Yoknapatawpha, which probably will be the most analytic and thought-provoking treatment. Cowley will probably do what the rest of us should read the studies which this mammoth work will prompt and from them realize what Joe Blotner should have realized from the beginning and what Faulkner himself often said--that the life of the man could be found in the work of the mind (but not the reverse) and that the best understanding of Faulkner comes from reading about that small postage...
...files, although the timing is uncertain. The White House's sudden decision to cut off further compliance with Jaworski's requests for evidence could indicate that it will also resist efforts by the Judiciary Committee to get important documents. Some investigators believe that a key to prompt turnover of the evidence held by Jaworski lies in making the necessary legal moves while Sirica, who has vividly demonstrated his desire to expose the full Watergate truth, is still chief judge. He must step down on March 19, his 70th birthday, becoming a senior judge of the U.S. District Court...

"But," said the court, "because this case presents the first [such] instance of which we are aware ... we decline to reverse the judgments." The court made clear that future abuses might prompt it to exclude the evidence gathered. But for the Waldens, their $600 fine stands...
...President Nixon, who eventually decided to keep the quotas. In retrospect, that was a grievous error. The quotas helped prompt U.S. oil companies to build their new refineries overseas, where they had access to then plentiful and cheap foreign crude. U.S. refineries have about 3 million to 4 million bbl. less daily capacity than they would need to meet "normal" domestic demand of close to 20 million bbl. That lack will contribute to keeping supplies tight for years after the Arab embargo ends. Now Exxon, which accounts for about 10% of the nation's refinery runs, is almost doubling...
...Court recently approved some new and troubling tactics. In one case, it ruled that even when evidence is illegally seized, it can be used as a basis for questioning in grand jury hearings. Though such evidence is still barred at actual trials, the decision can hardly be expected to prompt more care by police in conducting searches-or in testifying about them later. The court has also held that a traffic offender whom police are in the process of arresting may be thoroughly searched. Some cynics anticipate a flood of testimony about defendants who "did run a red light, after...
