Editorial views Phase 4 of Nixon administration antiinflation policy as modest and careful. It favors limiting future price rises and moving toward eventual decontrol with determined restraints, aiming for a steadier course after past zigzag policies and premature Phase 2 abandonment.
The piece jokes about draft cessation for humans and wolves while noting Selective Service registration remains. It recalls Tricia Nixon Cox’s reception at a Yankee game, cites Senator George Aiken’s influence, and questions fund allocation as Vermont expects a battle over diverting gas tax revenue to Environmental Conservation actions rather than roads.
District Court Judge George C. Keady halted a $100 penalty on a one year old youth who pleaded guilty to pulling a false alarm. A surveillance team nabbed him at a box repeatedly triggered, noting the city’s fire response cost. The judge warned others to follow suit.
The piece argues the Nixon administration is floundering beyond Watergate with Phase 4 failing to curb rising prices and inflation. It notes concessions on Cambodia and Laos, clashes over war powers, impoundment politics rejected by courts, and calls out a broad loss of confidence in leadership.
A long reflection on rivers as living ecosystems and their role in human life notes how riffles purify water and feed the food chain from nymphs to trout, then shifts to Washington and Watergate questions raised by President Nixon's May explanations. It highlights unanswered queries about the June break-in and subsequent disclosures.
The column catalogs four sets of questions about President Nixon’s statements on Watergate and related matters. It probes sources of dubious information, assurances about Dean’s investigation, the rationale for Krogh’s role in war history, and the use of executive privilege versus disclosures to the Ervin committee. It challenges the consistency and accountability of the White House actions.
