...Thus the view from the country beyond Washington is far more friendly. Last month's Gallup poll reports that 65% of the people approve of the way Nixon has conducted the presidency since taking office. The manner may not be dynamic, and embarrassing mistakes may outnumber the accomplishments so far, but it was F.D.R. who said that a good leader cannot afford to get too far ahead of his followers. That Rooseveltian dictum, at least, Nixon seems happy to accept...
Since he began to testify, Fitzgerald has himself become as much the center of controversy as his revelations. "What's in it for him?" is a question that fascinates both Fitzgerald's friends and his foes. Cynics view him as an empire builder and opportunist who wants to push his own management schemes on his superiors. Those who are anxious to curb military influence call him a patriot, however. Fitzgerald, 42, explains that his "conscience and professional integrity were violated by the sight of the Pentagon's inefficiency and waste...
There is another view, however. By protecting the ICBM sites, while the Soviets thus far have set up only a primitive ABM defense in the Moscow region, the U.S. may encourage the U.S.S.R. to develop vastly more effective offensive weapons-such as MIRVs, Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles-to overcome the U.S. ABM defense. The Soviets may also feel compelled to deploy a more sophisticated ABM system themselves. The U.S. has already tested MIRVs of its own, although they will not be operational for several years. If the cycle of ABM-MIRV goes on unabated, both nations will...
...Justice continued for weeks and posed an agonizing dilemma: Should the firm welcome him back? The decision lay with the 34 partners, and at first many seemed inclined to forgive Fortas' questionable relationship with convicted Stock Manipulator Louis Wolfson. Then a number of partners began to harden their view. In the end, only Founding Partners Paul Porter and Thurman Arnold argued strongly for their old colleague (Fortas' wife Carolyn, also a partner, abstained). By an overwhelming majority, the partners have now reached "an understanding": Fortas will not be taken back...
Last-Minute Reprieve. The prospect that even a few doctors were overtoiling the state and federal governments was especially disturbing in view of the states' growing reluctance or inability to shoulder their share of Medicaid's relentlessly spiraling costs. So far only 40 states have set up Medicaid programs (the 40th, Virginia, began operation last week), and some have already been forced to cut back services. Last week close to 200,000 of New York City's low-income Medicaid recipients were dropped from the rolls when the state lowered the eligibility level to an annual income...
