...docket is capital punishment. Paradoxically, the crime-conscious U.S. has not executed a single person in more than two years. Whether that moratorium continues may depend largely on the fate of a Negro named William Maxwell, who has been condemned to death in Arkansas for raping a white woman. Among other things, Maxwell argues that his 14th Amendment right to due process was violated because there were no statutory standards to govern the jury's decision on whether he should be executed or imprisoned.

He grants no private interviews, and, until two weeks ago, had held no public news conference since the middle of June. Under orders and by inclination, Nixon's White House advisers are not much more communicative than, say, the average CIA spokesman...
