Wednesday, January 7, 1973. Statemanship.

In an act of statesmanship impossible to imagine today, the United States Senate voted unanimously to approve Senate Resolution 60 establishing a committee to investigate the Watergate scandal.

Now, this would not occur, sadly.

Equally unimaginable, one of Wyoming's long serving Senator at the time was former University of Wyoming professor, Gale McGee.

He was a Democrat.

Stern magazine exposed Sir John Ogilvy Rennie as the director of MI6, code named "M".  He was not long for the office in any event, as his son and daughter-in-law had recently been arrested for alleged involvement in a heroin smuggling effort.

The Politburo approved a Yuri Andropov recommendation to allocate $100,000 to influence the upcoming March 4 election in Chile.
