It apparently stems from a vague feeling that Nixon may have "bottomed out" after widespread criticism of his released transcripts, is now recovering, and might yet survive. One sign of the change was Republican Leader John Rhodes' complaint that the Judiciary Committee ought to stop chasing tapes and call witnesses to pin down any uncertainties in the evidence it already holds.

At a Memorial Day picnic, Oregonians, who call him the Old Tiger, watched him sprint across the grass after a sign that had been blown from a tree.

In addition, much of what they have spent has gone for probably necessary but essentially unproductive pollution-control devices. There is, however, one good sign: businessmen are stepping up purchases of modern productive machines, including new automated steel-twisting braiders that can double the output of older machines and robots on assembly lines that relieve workers of more onerous chores, such as painting auto engines. In all, capital spending for the year is expected...
