- <p> THOSE TAPES AGAIN
- </p>
- <p> 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."

- <p> TO THE VICTORS...
- </p>
- <p> 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."
