Anderson Exposer Brought Down A Senator Andrei
Anderson, a prolific investigative reporter, has long fought corruption from Washington. He and coauthor Drew Pearson exposed tax violators, embezzlers, and kickback schemes that helped convict three Congressmen and spurred major investigations. His work challenged McCarthy, Adams, and Dodd, influencing hearings, resignations, and the space race debate, ending with his political defeat after exposing Senator Dodd.

Agnew Expected No 1972 Purge Of Senators
Vice President Spiro T. Agnew told the Buffalo Evening News he foresees no purge of GOP senators in 1972, noting only that Sen. Mark Hatfield has opposed parts of the president's policy without advocating a broad intra party purge. He said his earlier attack on Sen. Goodell was not due to disagreement with the administration but to Goodell using opposition as a tool against the party. Anderson profile and background details accompany the interview.

Supreme Court to Rule on Birth Control Distribution
The Supreme Court agreed to decide if Massachusetts may bar distributing birth control devices to unmarried people under a 91 year old law deemed invalid by the U.S. Circuit Court. The case, part of a broader state effort to curb contraception, awaits a June 1972 decision, as Massachusetts argues it protects purity and chastity. William R. Baird’s 1967 Boston University demonstration led to his arrest and a 90 day sentence, later partially served.
