...Another Rerun. Ohio Republican Congressman Clarence Brown was not wholly satisfied, but he believes that most people are indeed getting sick of Watergate. "The reaction I get from the people here," he says, "is, 'Aren't you all getting sort of seized up in the autopsy? Aren't there other things we ought to be doing?' " Some of the Democratic opposition was equally predictable. Senator Ervin, vacationing in North Carolina (see page 16), called the speech "a rehash, a solicitation of the public to make the committee quit working." He said that it reminded...
...Nixon could scarcely have anticipated the breadth of criticism that the speech produced. The Atlanta Constitution somewhat hyperbolically called it "one of the low points in the history of American democracy." The Boston Globe headlined a news analysis of the speech ANOTHER SUMMER RERUN. The Scripps-Howard papers, which customarily support Nixon, dismissed the speech as "regrettable, not to say disappointing," branded his policy on the tapes "a grave mistake," and added that "people with nothing to hide do not hide things."

The unit ceased sending signals after 20 seconds-possibly because it was buffeted by the Red Planet's hurricane-force winds. By contrast, the U.S.'s Mariner 9 spacecraft, launched at approximately the same time, worked for almost a year while in orbit around Mars, taking more than...
Nevertheless, one-third of the company's revenues still come from the cornerstone of Disney's original vision -reissues of old Disney classics, many of which are currently being rerun in a month-long retrospective at Manhattan's Lincoln Center (sec box). Company executives estimate that their primary audience turns over every seven years; so periodically, like a clockwork bubble-gum machine, one or another of the animated features is offered up again to a whole new crop of moppets...
