THE WEEK, Page 18NATIONET CETERA
THOSE TAPES AGAIN
If true, it could rank as the dirtiest trick of them all. In
an article in the New Yorker, Seymour M. Hersh claims that
unreleased archive tapes reveal that Richard Nixon tried in 1972
to link Democratic Party officials to the shooting of Alabama
Governor George Wallace. Elvin Stanton, Wallace's chief aide,
is calling for the release of all tapes dealing with the
Nixon-Wallace affair, now held in secret in the National
Archives. But Nixon lawyer R. Stan Mortenson ridiculed Hersh's
sources for the story as "incompetent, clerical-level
archivists."
TO THE VICTORS ...
Republicans are finding out the hard way that the only rule is
majority rule. The Democratic Caucus is amending House rules to
extend essential voting privileges to delegates from the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa and the
U.S. Virgin Islands, starting in January. The five delegates
just happen to be Democrats; angry Republicans are threatening
delaying tactics and legal action. D.C. delegate Eleanor Holmes
Norton says Republicans, "in opposing the vote for some
Americans while insisting on democracy everywhere else, look
like hypocrites."
