...suspicion around Nixon's affairs was so thick that it even engulfed the accounting firm chosen to prepare the report - Coopers & Lybrand, one of the "big eight" of the accounting field. Some observers made much of the fact that three former officials of the firm (when it was called Lybrand, Ross Bros. & Montgomery) had been convicted of mail fraud and distribution of false financial statements in 1968 but had received a presidential pardon from Nixon in 1972. White House spokes men argued convincingly that the three men have had no connection with the firm for five years and that...
...some ways, Kissinger has changed little since President Nixon -ignoring the fact that Kissinger had opposed him in the 1968 election -named him national security adviser in 1969. He still retains his thick German accent, lives alone in a six-room town house in Washington's Rock Creek Park, and spends so little time there that friends say only the library looks used. He has retained his taste for rich foods, his interest in chess and his tendency to neglect his appearance. He still puts in 18-hour days and expects his aides to do the same...
Most of the newcomers who flocked to settle in the state believed that if a desert town was a good place to live, an oasis was even better.

As a result, Arizona's cities now seem almost as lush and lovely as any East Coast suburb...
...According to Soviet Chemist Boris Deryagin's report in 1962, polywater was a totally different form of water -a thick, sticky substance that had a boiling point of about 1,000° F., and a freezing point of -40° F. Moreover, it closely resembled plastics or other polymers in molecular structure in that its molecules of hydrogen and oxygen atoms were linked together to form long chains. Scientists round the world were fascinated. But no one else was able to produce more than a few drops of the miraculous water and skepticism began to grow. Now even Deryagin...
...Sisters. "Jelly, Jelly" represents the band's dedication to blues. In the forties the definitive version was done by Billy Eckstine, and Chicago bands have done it with varying degrees of obscenity; it's a thank you note from the Allman Brothers. Their version is that Chicago style, thick organ chords from Gregg, and a truly painful vocal. His solo is straight-forward, with full chords from Dickie as support. Leavell's piano is taken directly from any number of Otis Spann sides, powerful, full-bodied, an emphasis on percussive chords. Dickie's guitar playing is steeped in blues...
