His fear was that in 1976 a new President would see his election as vindication of the antiwar, neo-isolationist position. This must not happen: "My survival depends on it," he said...
...juggernaut bearing down on Nixon was unstoppable. Between July 27 and 30, the House Judiciary Committee passed three impeachment articles (obstruction of justice, abuse of power and defying subpoenas).

...show!" That cheerful brainstorm, brimming with optimism, was a staple of MGM's old Mickey Rooney-Judy Garland movies. It was that same bubbly spirit of all-American teamwork, given a righteous edge, that prompted the Reagan Administration to put on a television special called Let Poland Be Poland. The 90-minute program was produced by the Government's International Communication Agency at a cost of more than $350,000, mostly corporate donations. It was scheduled to be broadcast early this week by local Public Broadcasting Service outlets. As many as 50 foreign countries (including Senegal, with...
