...subpoena deals primarily with the handling of campaign funds. Jaworski is also seeking further evidence, and he may subpoena that as well. The evidence being sought includes tapes and documents related to: 1) the possible "sale" of ambassadorships to large contributors to Nixon's political campaigns; 2) the Administration's settlement of an antitrust suit against ITT after a large campaign contribution was pledged by the company; 3) meetings at which Nixon and his aides discussed increased dairy price supports and a $2 million pledge of campaign aid by milk producers; 4) Nixon's notations from...

Would-be parents have waited as long as three years for a child. "With all the red tape, it's a discouraging process," says Patrick Tisdale of Columbus, Ga., father of five adopted South Vietnamese girls. A widowed physician with five sons, Tisdale met his second wife Betty in 1967 while he was an Army doctor in Viet Nam and she was bringing supplies to an orphanage...
