While Fortas delayed, pressure built up in Congress, and even Fortas' staunchest friends deserted him. Chairman Celler quietly ordered his Judiciary Committee staff to begin preparing articles of impeachment. With the agreement of House leaders, he and William McCulloch, the ranking Republican on the committee, talked with Mitchell. Though no one would say what Mitchell disclosed, his evidence was apparently convincing. "We got a vast amount of information," Celler told TIME Correspondent Neil MacNeil. "The Attorney General unfolded the whole story. It clinched the matter. It necessitated that the Judiciary Committee take some action unless Fortas resigned...
...died "tragically." This is official jargon for accidental death, and it reinforced the disaster rumor. But the other officers, many on the retired list, were reported to have died of natural causes. Volkov, a retired air force technical expert, was 70 years old. General Mar-ikyan Popov, a staff officer in the Ministry of Defense, was 67 at the time of his death and General Penkovsky, 65.

Most of these regulars are women of 60 or more-a couple of Americans, a few English, a stray Parisian countess or two. Twice a day they gather in the Winter Dining Room, a smallish chamber in the hotel basement, which, despite lavish importation of daffodils and red tulips, is a frightful miniature of desolation. All guests have their own tables; there is almost no talk. The Nabokovs have a cook and eat here only when they have visitors...
...recipient of a new honor awarded on the basis of the individual's hustle and spirit in making an outstanding contribution to the team. Kalinoski, who began the season as a relief pitcher, won the three games he started, going the distance in two performances. He led the pitching staff with an earned run average of 2.56 while allowing only 30 hits in 38 2/3 innings...
