...transcripts provided to the jury for help in listening, but not as evidence, can mislead the jurors. The point was illustrated in a salacious way when a March 22 tape was played on which someone in the Oval Office is heard discussing a phone call with Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau. A voice then calls him "asshole Trudeau." The transcript omitted Trudeau's name but identified the voice as Haldeman's. In a pained conference, Haldeman's attorneys insisted that the voice was Nixon's, and other attorneys agreed. Sirica offered to advise the jury...
...where traditionally politicians' wives have played a far more public role than elsewhere. But it is growing in other countries, particularly where press and television coverage is intense. Early in September, the vivacious 26-year-old wife of Canada's Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau entered Montreal's Royal Victoria Hospital and said, "I'm under psychiatric care for severe emotional stress, but I think I'm on the way to recovery...
Canada's Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who is a skier, scuba diver and judo expert, has added a new item to his list of athletic achievements. While attending a Liberal Party picnic in Vancouver, the P.M. spotted a trampoline, hopped aboard and executed a series of jumps that seemed practiced, if not exactly perfect.

Abruptly changing style from his leisurely, lofty (and losing) "Conversations with Canadians" of 1972, he toured with his wife Margaret, 25, in grueling 16-hour days, traveling by plane and even whistle-stopping aboard a private nine-car train. While Pierre orated, Margaret used her fresh good looks to help soften Trudeau's abrasive and sometimes arrogant image. "He's a beautiful guy, a very loving human being who has taught me a lot about loving," she told their audiences. "He's shy, modest...
Whether or not Trudeau lives up to his campaign promises, the interest of other Western leaders will be focused on his performance in handling the basic problems of the economy. Because Canada now has one of the few stable governments in the West with a dominant national leader, Canada's example in the coming months will not go unnoticed. But Trudeau seems, as usual, unshaken by the challenge. "We have the people, we have the resources, we have the vitality and the confidence to do a very great job," he said last week. "I am very anxious...
