...Representatives. If the acts in the indictment occurred after Agnew became Vice President, the House would undoubtedly impeach him. But if they took place before he assumed office, the House might follow the Colfax precedent. In 1872 the House decided not to start impeachment proceedings against Vice President Schuyler Colfax for acts he bid allegedly committed before being elected, arguing that he could be impeached only for misdeeds committed while in office. In that event, Agnew would be neither indictable nor impeachable and, however guilty, could theoretically go scot-free. The theory strains credulity. By then the affair would have...
There was even less agreement on whether a presidential immunity from prosecution applies to a Vice President. Although three previous Vice Presidents (Aaron Burr, John C. Calhoun and Schuyler Colfax) were threatened with criminal charges, none was either brought to trial or impeached, so there are no clear precedents. Kurland believes that since only the President is indispensable, only he enjoys the privilege of immunity. According to the Constitution, the Vice President's sole duty is to preside over the Senate-and to be ready to succeed the President if necessary. But Bickel argues that immunity also applies...

The echo of unanimous voices raised at the Schuyler County legislature in favor of a four-month moratorium on further large concerts in the area. And, of course, the rustle of money being counted; after expenses of $1.3 million, the Summer Jam stands to net a profit...
Even as a successful music executive, Schuyler G. Chapin would sometimes have a fantasy about a genie rising from a bottle and asking him what he wanted most in life. Chapin would reply, "I'd like to be general manager of the Metropolitan Opera." Last week in New York, the genie delivered. After a full season as acting general manager (TIME, March 5), Chapin, 50, was given a three-year contract for the real thing-the most powerful job in opera...
Such are the telltale signs that Schuyler Chapin has brought an energetic and affable new presence to the job of general manager of the Metropolitan Opera. A onetime composition student, Chapin has experience as a supervisor of classical recordings for the Columbia label and as a chief of programming for Manhattan's Lincoln Center. Two years ago he was executive producer of Leonard Bernstein's television and film enterprises. Then Sir Rudolf Bing's successor as the Met's general manager, Goran Gentele, named Chapin as his assistant, although Chapin had never before held...
