The piece argues the Justice Department seeks to end network control of radio and TV programs, fearing monopolistic restraint of trade.

Ford Motor Company recalls 400000 1972 Torinos and Mercury Montegos due to rear axle bearing wear that can detach the axle wheel or lock the rear wheels.

The article outlines President Nixon’s private stance on bombing North Vietnam to deter Hanoi and pressure Moscow. It notes his intent to lower global tensions, seek reelection, and not abandon commitments, with references to pressure from Moscow and Peking, and to secret overtures and Soviet-supplied equipment amid a widening conflict in Vietnam.
The piece argues Alfred Smith cites past records showing US bombing of North Vietnam stopped in 1968 with a DMZ pledge, while Nixon warned Hanoi 13 times from 1969 to 1971 of renewed bombing during withdrawal. It contends Hanoi violated commitments, Nixon warned openly, and questions Nixon’s post-withdrawal stance toward South Vietnam.
