...public financing of all congressional and presidential elections, primary and general. But the House is likely to rule out public funding for congressional elections. And even if the House does approve public financing of presidential races, Richard Nixon has served notice that he will veto such legislation as "a raid on the public treasury...
...additional indictments against Ehrlichman and Charles W. Colson, Nixon's former special counsel. For both, it was the second indictment within a week.

I empty the garbage even if the bag is empty, look for the mail several times before the mailman arrives, and raid the refrigerator when I'm not hungry.
