London Times columnist Bernard Levin calls the Watergate hearings a shocking erosion of justice in a free society. He notes McCarthyist undertones and urges fairness for all participants, including Nixon and his associates, while stressing vigilance against partisanship and showmanship. The piece ends with a brief, unrelated note on Mozart and an 1820s opera.

Dope Hauling Allegations Tie U.S. Gunboats to Paraguay Trade
Classified Pentagon documents show the navy contracted Sewart Shipyards in 1970 to build 40 foot patrol craft for Paraguay and six more for Romania, while other nations received vessels in 1972. The reports allege narcotics moves down the Paraguay river to Asuncion, with a White House and Pentagon approval claimed but cost undisclosed. Separately, President Nixon faced pressure over missing in action disclosures and Betsy Ancker-Johnson pressured Robert Gottschalk to resign at the Commerce and Patent offices, amid a Vienna treaty deadline.
