...step, the committee's Chief Counsel John M. Doar and Minority Counsel Albert Jenner this week will submit a report outlining just what kinds of acts the committee's staff of legal specialists deem to be impeachable. The report is expected to say that betrayals of public trust and gross neglect of official duties fall into the category of the "high crimes and misdemeanors" that are cited in the Constitution as a basis for impeachment (see TIME ESSAY, page 23).

When called to answer for their conduct after 1945, the owners of the company said that they were just following orders. That defense was insufficient to prevent the imprisonment of high Krupp officials for war crimes...
...abilities and intentions of Henry Kissinger, but even a man as brilliant as the Secretary of State cannot rise above a country's institutions." Because of his doubts over Nixon, said Heikal, "I began to differ with Sadat about the pace with which we were putting all our trust in Nixon. I believe we should retain our options, making concessions only bit by bit, but never putting all our eggs into one basket. I was afraid we were moving too fast.
