Jaworski says tapes destroyed Nixon in Watergate
AP reports prosecutor Leon Jaworski argues Nixon might have remained in office if tapes had been destroyed, speculating the ex-president valued the tapes for money. In his book The Right and the Power, Jaworski recounts Nixon’s alleged greed and a crying call to Sen James Eastland to avoid prosecution. He also notes Haldeman’s plea deal offers that failed after Judge Sirica balked on sentence guarantees.

Carter urges stable farm policy in Midwest campaign
Jimmy Carter told Iowa farmers at the State Fair that the Ford administration neglects the family farmer and consumer and needs an agriculture leadership team free from corporate ties. He pledged support prices at production cost and attacked Earl Butz and export embargos as harmful to small producers. Grant of the American Farm Bureau defended current policy while noting the four year cycle of farm-versus-corporate tensions. Carter also said he would not authorize foreign shipment embargoes if elected.
