Editorial Opinion
As the snow falls and falls and
falls here in Erie, it has almost all
melted away in Washington. Of
course, Nixon should have been
more careful with his snow jobs
and should not have used
something that melted when the
heat was on, like his vice
president and entire staff.
There's really little more to say
about Nixon these days, I mean
when more people in the United
States believe in flying saucers
than believe in the president,
what can one say. Still, Nixon
really only committed one foolish
crime. He got caught.
We all know that he is not the
first person and will not be the
last person to step out of line a
little, he just happened to get
caught, and he just happened to
be president at the time. It could
happen to you some day and then

Nixon Jokes
you'd feel pretty stupid yourself.
Of course you're not likely to be
quite as obvious as Nixon was and
do something like walk through
the lobby with a keg under your
arm either.
Yes, everything is out now, and
if there's anything more, I doubt
that anyone would even be in
terested. The country has been
drowning in Watergate long
enough now and no one is really
interested in doing any more
damage than has already been
done. There are of course the
murmurings of impeachment
which have been slowly rising to a
shout, but even that is muffled by
other problems like the energy
crisis.
However, when all the jokes
have died away, when the final
purge of this administration is

complete, Americans will be
faced with a startling realization.
Can we ever trust again?
Can the White House ever
regain the trust and faith of the
American people after they have
discovered what has gone on
there over the last few years? We
are now a nation that has seen its
executive branch turned upside
down, with many of its leading
figures convicted or indicted for
major crimes, with its vice
president forced to leave his
position because of his own illegal
activities, and with a president
who has fallen from the trust of
the American people to point
where Nk e may be witness to his
impeachment for the crimes he
has committed.

What is a friend?
A friend is someone with whom
you can
Share your most personal secrets
With the utmost of confidence
That he will keep them to him
self.
A friend is someone who will open
his ears
To your problems,
And though he may not have the
most miraculous,
Earth-shaking answers or advice,
At least he's listening-showing he
cares.
A friend is someone who will
