For the Record

■ The far Left, in the slough of despond since Ceasefire Day, has found a new battle cry: “Impeach Nixon.” Anthony Russo, of the Pentagon Papers case, addressed a rally at the brand-new Los Angeles Impeachment Information Center and said, “The most important matter before the nation now is how to get rid of Richard Nixon as President.” Russo then rushed to Chicago to address founding convention of Angela Davis’ new National Organization To Combat Racist and Political Repression and told it: “The need is for a grass-roots movement to stop, not crime in the streets, but crime in the suites.” (Ralph Abernathy was unable to attend: because, according to People’s World, “of his arrest in Atlanta in a civil-rights battle.”) . . . May 22 saw an Impeach Nixon rally at the Capitol, organized by Women Strike for Peace, the National Organization of Women, among others. It was addressed by Democratic congressmen Bella Abzug (“[the White House] has been taken over by a bunch of arrogant ruling devils”) and Black Caucus member Walter Fauntroy of Washington, D.C. Mrs. Abzug pointed out proudly that not a single woman has been implicated in Watergate and commented, not so proudly, that perhaps it was because women had “very little opportunity of being corrupted by power.” . . . The ADA, at its national convention, held back from impeachment but, by voice vote, called for Richard Nixon’s resignation. Some ADAers however not so happy at the vote, among them Sen. Walter Mondale and Sissy Farenthold of Texas, newly elected head of the National Women’s Political Caucus. . . . Leftist Congressman Don Edwards (D., Calif.) told the press he doesn’t want Nixon to resign—unless Agnew does too.

■ Watergate Sidebars: Former French counterintelligence chief Robert Wybot neither shocked nor surprised by Watergate. He reveals that several of the Fourth Republic governments not only bugged the headquarters of the opposition Socialist Party but also the hotel suite of le grand Charles himself. . . . Convicted Watergate defendant G. Gordon Liddy has been barred from practicing law in New York State. The Bar Association refused to accept Liddy’s resignation, insisted on disbarment. . . . Teddy White facing deadline, working feverishly to get Watergate material into his The Making of a President 1972, due out in August. . . . Berkeley will bring out The Impeachment of Richard Nixon by Leonard Lurie next month; other quickies are in the works.
