A West German observatory photograph revealed Kohoutek’s Comet, set to debut a massive tail and peak brightness mid January as it nears the sun. It will be naked-eye visible in November with a tail spanning a third of the sky at times, inspiring awe and superstition in equal measure.
A personal reminiscence recalls a two year old's tantrum when photographed with Dick Nixon on his campaign trail.

Letters to the editor protest public expenditures and secret meetings, praise Red Cross publicity, and defend President Nixon. Contributors include Margaret D. Clark praising Mrs. Harriet Davis, Charlotte A. Foucher denouncing “Impeach-Nixon” zealots, and Arlington’s assertion of Nixon’s future judge.
Tom Braden recalls October night in Washington as Nixon aides considered firing Archibald Cox and Elliot Richardson. He recounts telling Cox, who asserts the law would be followed, noting Cox’s belief that only the attorney general could fire him and the legal basis behind it.
