...been the "tightly written, well-researched prose that has made The Crimson the most-quoted college newspaper in America." Rather, it has been with the fascinating new technique you have dredged up of distorting the facts to produce a lopsided picture of the situation: misusing words, leaving the prosecutor's testimony until the end of the trial, giving long soul-searching articles on the tragedy of Dr. Edelin. These do not seem to me to be in the best of journalistic traditions. Unfortunately, many of my friends have told me that this is now your "tradition." Nowhere was this more...
...Edelin wasn't negligent at all. In fact, a defense witness under cross-examination had stated that at least ten seconds would have been necessary and that alternate methods should have been employed to test for life. Third, throughout your summation of the case, you devote one sentence to prosecutor Flanagan saying the fetus was an "independent human being." Meanwhile, the Edelin version gets eight paragraphs...

Rose Mary Woods will continue to serve Nixon in Washington, drawing a $42,000 salary out of his federal office allotment. She has been zealously guarding Nixon's varied left-behind memorabilia and fuming at court orders that impounded them. Both Nixon's attorneys and the special prosecutor's staff last week asked Federal Judge Charles Richey to permit the transfer to Nixon of such items as his reading glasses, a wedding picture of Tricia, and his collection of elephants and gavels. Friends find her bitter and, according to one, "pretty worn down with the frustration...
