...Lyndon Johnson. The new trails of CIA and FBI domestic spying, however uncertain as yet, lead back to his Oval Office and that towering figure of contradictions. Those ravaged patrons of Richard Nixon are quick to suggest that L.B.J. was as bad as or worse than the disgraced 37th President. But that has not yet been proved...
When they created the Nixon Foundation in 1969, the trustees had grand plans for building a museum and library for the papers and mementos of the 37th President. The foundation's board included some of the most powerful figures in the country - men like John Mitchell, H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and an influential lawyer named Herbert Kalmbach - to say nothing of Billy Graham and several distinguished businessmen...
...Italy, as the 36th government since the collapse of Fascism ended with Premier Mariano Rumor's resignation, efforts to form a 37th hesitantly began. Cementing a new center-left coalition in economically battered Italy will not be easy. The next Christian Democratic Premier might be tempted to take the first step toward the so-called "historic compromise" and grant the Communists a consultative policy role.

A captured German document said, somewhat hysterically, that Abrams' forces were totally made up of men who had been born out of wedlock or killed their...
...helplessness and frustration was fueled by rising unemployment, a slump in economic growth, skyrocketing inflation and precarious governments. For example, the Cabinets ruling Belgium, Britain, France, West Germany and Portugal were all less than one year old. In Italy, Premier Mariano Rumor headed a chronically unstable coalition (the 37th since 1943). The Labor Party of British Prime Minister Harold Wilson held only 298 of Parliament's 631 seats. Portuguese President António Spinola had no constitutional basis of power and held office at the pleasure of the group of young military officers who deposed the half-century...
