Nixon nominates Powell and Rehnquist to Supreme Court
The press covered President Nixon's chilly reception of a legal panel as he announced Powell and Rehnquist for the courts. Powell, a Richmond attorney and former Richmond School Board member, brings trial-lawyer prestige and civil rights moderation. Rehnquist, an ally of Goldwater and Kleindienst, is praised as a strong legal mind. Both nominees face Senate hearings amid questions of age and fit.

Rocket failure leaves U S blind to weather
A Delta rocket failure during the ITOS B launch at Vandenberg sent the weather satellite back to Earth 97 minutes after liftoff. The loss leaves NOAA with no new night time cloud data as winter approaches, while two older Esse satellites provide daytime coverage. NOAA officials note the problem and potential ITOS replacement in coming months.
