Haig sees Nixon survival amid triple whammy
Haig told reporters aboard Air Force One Nixon’s impeachment chances grew more uncertain after a week of losses and a Supreme Court ruling but he stressed Nixon remains confident and determined. An aide noted intense strain yet Nixon stays stoic, governed by self-control amid a brutal two year attack. Three developments defined the triple whammy: a wide rehash of evidence by the Judiciary Committee, the Supreme Court ordering 64 more Watergate tapes, and six Republicans joining Democrats to back one impeachment article. The panel plans more debates on additional charges as a possible House vote looms.
