Federal Judge Gerhard Gesell suggested Nixon’s refusal to surrender subpoenaed trial materials borders on obstruction of justice. The hearing focused on contempt charges against the President and custody of Ehrlichman’s notes, with Gesell urging the President to allow access for the defense and warning dismissal of charges if compliance remains blocked.

Social Security worth? Inequities hidden by system's structure
Warren Shore argues Social Security is bankrupt like Penn Central, sustained by higher payroll taxes without matching benefits. He claims the trust fund is illusory, taxes fund current benefits, and reserves are far below what rules require for guarantees. He contrasts pension practices with rigid insurance reserve norms and warns of escalating costs for workers.

Grand Jury action on Nixon shapes Watergate case
The grand jury named Richard Nixon an unindicted co conspirator in the Watergate cover up. The development adds leverage for prosecutors in trials against six defendants and may complicate Nixon's potential legal options, possibly requiring a deal to avoid indictment while highlighting the president’s precarious position. The ruling illustrates how conspiracy law allows evidence against one conspirator to be used against others and sparks debate over whether the jury aimed to signal culpability without indicting an incumbent president.
