Ruling Delayed on Watergate Pretrial Coverage Battle
In Washington Judge Sirica postponed a decision on whether to bar news coverage of key Watergate testimony as Archibald Cox seeks secrecy for witnesses facing indictment. Separately Judge Gagliardi ruled that Stans may testify before the Senate unit next week, despite New York pretrial publicity orders. Stans faces fraud, obstructing justice, and perjury charges tied to a $200,000 gift to the Nixon campaign by Vesco.
