Henderson Says Jury Conditioned in My Lai Trial
Col. Oran K. Henderson denounces the courtroom as conditioned like a soap commercial after the prosecution’s 40th witness in the My Lai cover-up court martial. He faces charges of failing to investigate war crimes allegations, report them, and lying to a board, with testimony detailing the March 16 1968 massacre and related questioning.

Democrats Call Inequitable Economic Plan Critique
Democratic governors at the 63rd National Governors Conference in San Juan oppose Nixon's economic policy as inequitable and urge that wage price restraints be paired with limits on profits dividends and interest.
