...bugged on Nixon's orders. Another potential danger to the former President is that he will be disbarred. Still, these problems are less pressing than the one President Ford disposed of with his order of Executive clemency. The future remains cloudy for Richard Nixon, but in all likelihood he no longer faces the prospect of being the first President of the United States to go to prison...

They will still have to surrender their passports at the hotel desk, meaning that, in practice, unwed couples may be reluctant to admit their liaison and have to sleep for the price of two-demurely in separate rooms, often on separate floors, connected by leering elevator operators.

Farm prices are marching up again, and increases in wage settlements jumped from 7.6% in the first quarter to 10% in the second...
