For the Record

■ Unlikely bedfellows: The two publications that came out last week for Richard Nixon’s resignation are, on the left, the Nation, on the right, William Loeb’s Manchester Union Leader. . . . The Communist World’s slogan du jour is “No Amnesty for Nixon,” but the paper as a whole was having difficulty last week meshing its Impeach Nixon demands with its praise of the Brezhnev-Nixon summit. . . . On the Hill they’re saying that Richard Nixon should be blessing Bella Abzug. Every time Bellowing Bella gets to her feet to demand impeachment (which is everytime anything is being discussed) she turns off a few more congressmen. . . . Incidentally, the only member of the Ervin Committee to vote against postponing the John Dean hearing a week was Republican Administration critic Lowell Weicker of Connecticut. . . . Latest from Watergate rumor mill is that G. Gordon Liddy, the only Watergater who hasn’t said a word, was a double agent, placed inside the Re-elect Committee to blow its operations. . . . Making money on Watergate: An ad in the Washington Post offers a series of three Richard Nixon Silver Bars (See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil), for $45. . . . And Maxine Cheshire reports an enterprising woman writer is having trouble finding a publisher for a gardening picture book “on the balconies and backyards of key Watergate figures.”

■ The Soviet line on Watergate, according to a spokesman for Moscow’s Institute of International Relations, is that the attendant publicity was “an attempt by the military-industrial complex in the United States to disrupt Soviet-American relations [and] delay the Brezhnev visit.” . . . A Gallup poll on the eve of Brezhnev’s arrival in the States shows that 34 per cent of Americans are now favorably disposed toward the Soviet Union (as against 5 per cent in 1954); 57 per cent are still unfavorably disposed toward Russia.
