Nixon on tapes conflict tests separation of powers
The legal clash over White House access to the tapes draws in Atty. Gen. Cox, Prof. Wright, and the presidency. Wright argues Cox as executive beholden to the President, but the court remains the authority. Public figures split, with Agnew relieved, Laird and Harlow favor partial release, and Congress showing waning deference to Nixon as power shifts toward courts and impeachment avoidance remains unclear.
