...Gentlemen, I'm sorry to say it, but I'm not the bearer of good tidings," St. Clair began. Then he explained the nature of the new evidence, which was soon to be described as more than the long-sought "smoking pistol" and actually, in the apt phrase of Columnist George F. Will, akin to a "smoking howitzer." St. Clair said flatly that he had been ready to resign if Nixon had opposed release of the material. "I have my professional reputation to think about," he explained, adding that any other action would have been to withhold evidence...
...Nixon girls, the trauma of Watergate is likely to diminish with time. Both have lives of their own to lead, Tricia as the wife of a young attorney, Julie as an editor of the Saturday Evening Post and wife of the bearer of a legendary name.

...letters. According to Kennedy's press secretary, Dick Drayne, "Interns have a lot of fun. They can go to hearings, onto the floor when the Senator is there, and get to a lot of parties." He added, "and Caroline wants to be treated like all the others." The bearer of another famous name will be interning this summer on Capitol Hill. John J. Sirica Jr., 21, a junior at Duke University-where President Nixon went to law school-is assigned to the Chicago Tribune's Washington bureau as a copy boy and writer trainee. However, John Jr. will...
