World scene rocked by political scandals, fighting
By ROY CLEVENGER

Students who normally adjust newspapers and television during the summer are in for it.
In almost every week of the past three months, some government fell, war began or ended somewhere and more high-level American officials found themselves in trouble in connection with the ever-widening Waterrate scandals.
The Watergate crimes and the shattered presidency of Richard M. Nixon overwhelmingly dominated the summer's news, as a new investigation peeve infiltration in the nation's history.
The fate of the Nixon presidency probably was sealed on May 19 when Federal Judge John J. Sirica ordered the President to turn over tape recordings of 64 White House conversations for use in the trials of six former administration officials.
The court heard arguments on July 8, and on July 24 announced its 8-choice decision.
Nixon refused to release the tapes, and Leon Jaworski, special prosecution appointee, tried to get him to answer.
At the same time, Nixon was battling the House Judiciary Committee over its subpoenas for the tapes and other documents. In fact, a report by the CIOs evidence in early July, indicating deeper
Lindbergh
Lindbergh dies of lymph cancer
HANA, Hawaii—Charles A. Lindbergh, the Lore Eagle who electrified the world in 1927 with his soli trans-Atlantic flight in the single-engine “Spirit of St. Louis,” died yesterday in this small town on the island of Manu. He was 72.
A longtime friend said Lindbergh died of cancer of the lymphatic system. He had spent the last eight days in Hawaii following a month-long stay in Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York for treatment of his illness.
A spokesman for Pan American World Airways, whose routes across the Atlantic and Pacific were pioneered by Lindbergh, said Lindbergh had decided to return to his vacation home in Hawaii "when he realized things were desperate."
Lindbergh's epochal flight catapulted him—then a 24-year-old wingwalker, barnstormer and mail pilot-to international fame.
He went into self-imposed exile following the conviction of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the 1932 Kidnap-murder of Lindbergh's infant son, then emerged to campaign against American entry into World War II.
After unheralded heroism as a civilian tightener instructed during the war, he settled in New York.
Soviets launch Soyuz with 2 men aboard
MOSCOW-The Spacecraft spacecraft Soyuz was launched with two men aboard last month.
Tass, the Soviet news agency, said the spacecraft was commanded by I.L. Col. Gennady Sarafanov, 32, and carried Lev Demin, a 48-year-old flight engineer.
Tass quoted a cosmonaut who had helped train the crew as saying the two had coped excellently with a very tense training program.
The Soviet government released no specific information about the goals or planned length of the flight. The Salyut 3 space station, launched earlier this year by the Russians, remains in Earth orbit and may be used by the Soyuz 15 cosmonauts.
presidential involvement in several aspects of the Waterate scandal.
The committee, in six days of televised debate, recommended three articles of impeachment charging obstruction of justice, abuse of power and contempt of Congress. The vote on the first two articles was strongly bipartisan.
During the summer the public also learned that the Internal Revenue Service had assessed a negligence penalty against Nixon for the way his taxes had been prepared and that the Watergate grand jury was indicted Nixon if he hadn't been President.
Nixon enjoyed two brief respites from Watergate when he traveled to the Middle East in mid-June and to the Soviet Union later in the month.
The end of Nixon's presidency was assured Aug. 5 when he released transcripts of three executive conversations held a week after the Watergate break-in. In one conversation, he had approved a plan to insert an FBI investigation into the financing of the break-in.
With the disclosure, Nixon's remaining support crumbled.

After three days of intense pressure from Congressional friends and staff members, Nixon announced late Aug. 8 that he would be out of office until September 9, "political base" in Congress had eroded.
After a teary farewell to his staff the next morning, he left the White House as President and was airborne on the way to his San Clemente retreat when his official letter of resignation was delivered and in Ford. He was sworn in as 38th President.
A dozen prominent individuals were indicted, convicted or sentenced during the summer for their roles in Watergate and the 1972 Iran hostage crisis, domestic adviser John Ehrhulman, who
was convicted of involvement in the break-in of the office of Daniel Elsberg's psychiatrist and later sentenced to 20 months to five years in prison.
John Connally, former treasury secretary, was inducted in connection with a $10,000 bribe alleged given him to increase milk price support.
Connally spoke at the University of Kansas in April 1973.
Richard Kleindienst, former attorney general, pleaded guilty to failing to testify accurately at his Senate confirmation hearings in 1972.
Five other former White House officials were sentenced during the summer to prison terms ranging from six months to four years.
Sen. Edward Gurney, R-Fla., a member of the Senate Watergate Committee, was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy to commit a connection with an alleged scheme to extract $233,000 in kickbacks from housing constructors. Gurney, who spoke at KU Nov. 5, 1973, asserted his innocence but denied a federal election campaign to prepare for the trial.
Watergate overshadowed the worsening inflation. The battle against higher prices stagnated as Nixon became preoccupied with Watergate.
President Ford proclaimed that inflation was the nation's 1. enemy and promised to lift it.
Three colorful public figures in America during the summer. Singer Mama Cass Elliot, singer and actress.
Dizzy Dean, star pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1938s, died July 17, two years before the death of his wife, Barbara.
Jazz immortal Edward Remedy "Dude" Ellington died May 24 in New York City of old age.

--question caretails, then purchase a Marantz receiver for three compelling reasons
I bought a Marantz 4 channel receiver because I refuse to be stuck with an electronic antique.
Not one to tolerate obsession (planned or unplanned). I considered the stereo vs. 4 channel carefully, then purchased
One. Marantz has Dual Power This means you get full power of four discrete amplifiers working all the time When you're listening to regular 2 channel tapes and records you can combine the power of all four channels into the front speakers This means even if you're not ready to commit yourself to a complete 4 channel system, you can buy Marantz now and when you get the other two speakers just flip a switch. You have 4 channel. Meanwhile, you're not compromising 2 channel because you're getting more than twice the power for super stereo.
Reason number two. Marantz receivers feature the exclusive snap in snap-out adaptability to any 4-channel matrix decoder. This means that your
I chose the Marantz Model 4270 because it suits my needs perfectly. It delivers 140 watt continuous power with under 0.3% distortion. And it's literally loaded with features. However, your requirements may be more midrange than mine. In which case you can own the Marantz Model 4220 which delivers 40 watt with Dual Power. Or you can go all the way and get the Marantz Model 4300 with 200 watt. It is the very best. Choose from five Marantz 4 channel receivers from $299 to $799.95.
Reason number three Marantz receivers, from the Model 42/30 up feature in Dolby noise reduction to bring you the quietest FM reception ever. And you can switch the built in Dolby into your tape deck for noise free, no hiss recording from any source. A real Marantz exclusive.
The point to remember is this — whichever model Marantz 4 channel receiver you do buy, you can buy it today without worrying about its being obsolete tomorrow. Look over the Marantz line of
