...President know, and when did he know it?" at exactly those moments when the other questioners are attempting to establish the circumstantial framework that will provide the answer. Joseph Montoya extracts "moral advice for the young people of this nation...from every felon who testified," and Lowell Weicker, with mind-deadening consistency explodes in a fit of moral outrage every afternoon at four o'clock, in time to dominate the evening news. Silbert and his team worried less about the strength of their case than they did about the behavior of Judge "Maximum John" Sirica, whose obvious assumption of presidential...

It is as yet unclear what kind of national constituency would back the Senate bill, introduced last week by Democratic Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana and Republican Lowell Weicker of Connecticut, that mandates a nationwide rationing program "within 60 days." (Ford announced that he would veto that or any other rationing bill.) But support for rationing is probably strongest among lower-income citizens who worry most about the pocketbook impact of Ford's plan. Rationing was a key part...
