...Daniel letter stood in stark contrast to the hesitant response of most political figures to the Calley verdict and to Nixon's interference. To be sure, anyone of political prominence could legitimately duck the question by pleading that he did not wish to repeat the President's error of influencing the appellate process. Among the 1972 Democratic presidential possibilities in the Senate, only Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts spoke up for the verdict before the Daniel letter was made public, though his mail has been running solidly pro-Calley. Later, Maine's Edmund Muskie said that Nixon appeared...
Moynihan opened by reporting on some recent conversations with businessmen: "Let me take the occasion to repeat my comment about what I feel to be the serious inattention of the Administration to its reputation with respect to civil liberties and to the general question of 'repression.' Since leaving Washington, I have spent a good deal of time talking to businessmen. (Picking up some consulting fees!)

There is controversy, too, over the meaning of results: critics say it is hard to interpret the behavior of worms and other lower creatures objectively. Some say that Ungar may have discovered not a memory molecule but a molecule that blocked a normal response (to seek darkness) instead of teaching a new reaction (to seek light). Most investigators doubt that a single memory molecule will be found, but they believe that molecular biology will eventually reveal...
...Center Phil Esposito alone netted 76, far surpassing the old record of 58 set by Chicago's Bobby Hull in 1969. Little wonder, then, that although the Bruins split the first two games of the Stanley Cup quarter-finals with the Montreal Canadiens, they were heavy favorites to repeat their 1970 cup victory...
