Appeals judges hear arguments in three-sided dispute on tapes
In Washington Nixon fights to keep Watergate tapes, Cox seeks grand jury access, and Judge Sirica weighs private viewing before ruling. Seven DC Circuit judges heard over three hours as spectators filled the courtroom. The case, likely to reach the Supreme Court early next month, tests presidential secrecy versus public access to evidence. Cox argues the tapes are essential to prove guilt, while Nixon aides stress the president’s right to secrecy and the harm a disclosure could cause. The liberal panel includes two conservatives who did not participate, and the court offered no hint of timing or outcome. TAPES Page 18, Col. 2
