...read of Richard Kleindienst's loss of composure at his sentencing [June 17], I realized that all these men, including Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Dean, Magruder and even possibly Colson, were not the over-zealous corrupters of the office of the presidency.

A Pan Am jumbo jet last month brought 300 pilgrims home from Saipan, Guam and Tinian; another 400 will soon be leaving on a cruise ship for the burning sands of Iwo Jima, where no fewer than...
