...that is so, the attempt last week boomeranged: Jobert forged a greater degree of unity between the U.S. and non-French Europe than Kissinger had been able to accomplish. West German Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt declared that his country did not want to be forced to choose between Common Market unity and backing the U.S.-but in the end, Germany chose the U.S. Other delegates were less emphatic, but in signing the communique without reservations they in effect said the same thing. Germany has proposed that Common Market Foreign Ministers meet next month to try to narrow the various splits...
This same danger of inconsistency troubles Benno C. Schmidt Jr., professor at Columbia University School of Law. While the President has been charged with some misconduct in office that appears to be unique, other accusations against him-ordering wiretaps, auditing the tax returns of political opponents-have been true of past Presidents as well.

To Kohoutek's surprise, he not only obtained pictures of the asteroids but also, during an eight-day period, discovered on his photographic plates the telltale blurs...
...takes no extrasensory perception to divine the public mood, though Beatrice Schmidt, a parapsychologist in Greentree, Pa., predicts that Nixon may "stagger along for a year and then resign." Others give him less time. W. Harry Sayen, G.O.P. chairman in Mercer County, N.J., thinks that Nixon loyalists have tried to "hang on and hang on to his believability. But something snapped after the Cox debacle...
