Vietnamese Woman Regains Custody Of Son
Doan Thi Hoang Ahn, a Vietnamese refugee, comes to Forest City Iowa to reclaim custody of her 4-year-old son Doan Van Binh from the Nelson foster family.

The Nelsons describe the boy's desire to stay with them, while Doan plans to take him home after reunions and a brief visit.

Flaherty’s rise from factory job to governor candidate
Flaherty worked two jobs while joining a fraternity and becoming student senate president and class president. He started as a $65 a week salesman at Broyhill Furniture Co in Lenoir, moved up to management in six months, and later managed a Broyhill plastics factory by 1972. He praises the family firm and calls a governor’s post a sacrifice to earn a state salary around $30,000.

Baker Defends Role In Watergate Hearings
U S Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee defends his dual role in the 1973 Watergate hearings as protecting Republican interests while remaining fair. In response to a new Sam Dash book alleging Baker tried to derail a full probe, Baker called Dash partisan and said he followed his obligation to defend Republicans, even when painful, including subpoenas for tapes and a lawsuit against President Nixon. He leaves judgment to history.
