Chances are Nixon and/or some of his close associates didn't do anything which hadn't been done by previous presidents. Other presidents recorded phone conversations and "private" conversations in the Dual Office without the knowledge of those being recorded; other presidents behaved in a questionable personal manner in the White House; other presidents had their unnamed helpers raising money which probably was never reported or accounted for; other presidents made secret reports; and on and on.
While discussing, in his Saturday column of June 5, Abilene as a possible location for the Richard M. Nixon Presidential Library, Dolph Simons Jr. reaches the following quasi-conclusion:
WAS RICHARD NIXON JUST ANOTHER MISBEHAVING
PRESIDENTIAL Cipher?
The only trouble is that Nicon was caught and lied about some of his activities. He left office in disarray.
In 1972 it was revealed that the Air Force and the Department of Defense had falsified reports in order to conceal the secret bombing of Cambodia in 1969 and early 1970. While the subsequent invasions of Cambodia (1970) and Los (1975) were at least open expressions of Mr. Nixon's off-promised "peace with honor," the earlier bombing raids were undertakings with neither a national precedent nor a legal foundation.
Public Briefing After completing its Watergate investigation, the House Judiciary Committee recommend three articles of impachment against Mr. Nixon, charging him with obstruction of justice in connection with the Watergate investigation; abuse of power through misuse of the Internal Revenue Service for political purposes; illegal wirewrapping, establishment of a private investigative unit that engaged in unlawful activity, and interference with the lawful activities of the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Justice and other government bodies; and failure to comply with subpoenas issued by the House Judiciary Committee.
As the ‘‘other president’’, each of whose alleged misconduct in office was comparable to Mr. Nixon’s, aren’t really named, we were left only with Mr. Nixon’s.
Even after the Committee to Re-elect the President's responsibility for the Watergate break-in was established, Mr. Nixon insisted he knew nothing about it. When Mr. Nixon's appointee as Watergate special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, continued attempting to obtain the tapes of some conversations secretly recorded in the President's office, Mr. Nixon dismissed him. Mr. Cox's replacement, William Ruchliellah, was soon discharged from the police station, and after questioning, he admitted both to having been aware of the Watergate break-in shortly after it had occurred, and trying to halt the Federal Bureau of investigation's inquiry into it.
The House Judiciary Committee's action persuaded Mr. Nixon to become the first man ever to resign the presidency. Although a pardon exempted the offender from the entire punishment prescribed for the offense, President Ford, in a burst of tralomical compassion, greatly expanded the term's definition by granting to Mr. Nixon a full pardon "for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have undertaken or taken part in." President Ford's pardon thus precluded any legal response to both Mr. Nixon's known and yet-to-discovear machinations.
In the presidential pantheon. Richard Nixon—a man willing to coverty war against those, either here or overseas, of whom he disapproval—stands alone.
Let's hope this remains true.

Kansas town begins cleanup after wind storm, sudden flood
2702 West 24th Street Terrace
By ANDREW DEVALPINE Staff Reporter
It will be months before things are back to normal in Rossville after last Wednesday's flooding, Rossville's maveral said Saturday.
Cleanup was continuing in the town of 1,045 people, which is halfway between Topeka and Manhattan on Highway 24. Of all towns in a four-county disaster area encompassing Shawnee, Jackson, Pottawatomie and Leavenworth counties, Rossville was hit the hardest by flooding.
Gov. John Carlin declared these counties disaster areas Wednesday.
"WE HAVE THE water and service systems operating normally now," George Stadler, mayor, said. "The buildings are cleaning up their basements.
"It's the worst mess I've seen in 62 years."
"What we've really had is two disasters in one," he said. "We had a wind storm one night, and two days later the flood came on top of it."
Total damages to the town have been estimated at $1 million, Stadier said, but he said that he thought the figure was arrived at prematurely.
"I think we will have more than that because we didn't realize at first that the water was as deep as it was," he said.
DESPITE THE SEVERITY of the damage—one household's claim is estimated at $15,000—the residents seem to be making the most of it.
"They may be crying at night,
Slipping "but they are laughing in
the daytime.
"They've lost a lot of personal things.
But when you've done it before, you're sure it'll happen again. You just don't know when."
Stadler said that the response from the community has been good.
Some parts of town were damaged more than others, Stadier said. Cross Creek, which cuts through the center of town, empties out of both sides when it floods, he said. But the business sector was hardly affected because the business streets are the highest point in town.
Nevertheless, some stores had a foot of wa. or. he said.
--you're welcome.
Stadler said that what looked like a wall of water poured into town.
NATIONAL GUARD troops were brought in from Topeka Wednesday night, Stadier said, "mostly to keep spectators out."
"They helped remove 60 rest home patients from the Roseville Valley Manor rest home and just guarded the town in general," Stadler said.
Unlike previous floods, this year the water rushed into town with scarcely any warning. Stadler said.
STADLER SAID THIS flood was the worst of any on record in Rossville.
