Page 14 — Griffin Dally News Thursday, May 5,1977 Reaction Interview stirred same partisanship that marked Watergate era By The Associated Press Former President Richard M. Nixon’s interview with David Frost generally stirred the same partisanship that marked the Watergate era: His detractors complained the full story was yet to be told. His supporters applauded what they said was his candor. “The evidence compiled by the committee and its staff total 7,200 pages and filled 36 books of information,” said Rep. Peter Rodino, the New Jersey Democrat whose House Judiciary Committee voted to impeach Nixon. “It showed clearly, conclusively and finally that Rich ard Nixon obstructed the Watergate investigation and that he abused the powers of his high office as president and that he faded to comply with lawful subpoenaes,” said Rodino after watching the 90-minute interview Wed nesday night. The show was the first of four covering the Nixon presi dency, for which the former president reportedly will re ceive $600,000 and a share of the profits, for a possible total of more than $1 million. It was his first public discussion of Watergate since he resigned Aug. 9, 1974. “I think it’s going to have a healing and cleansing ef fect,” said Raymond K. Price, Nixon’s chief speech writer when he was in the White House. “I think it was for thcoming. I think it was a very generous concession by (Nixon) of his own errors.” One early victim of the scandal, Nixon’s former presidential chief of staff H.R.

I may have something to say in the future, but I’m not going to make a lot of little comments at this time. I’m going to think this thing through.” Another top-ranking former Nixon aide, domestic af fairs adviser John Ehrlichman, is serving a term at a federal correctional facility at Stafford, Ariz., for his part in the Watergate coverup. The warden said the show was not carried on the two channels available at the facility. E. Howard Hunt, recently released from a prison term for taking part in the Watergate break-in and now on a speaking tour, told a Santa Clara (Calif.) University audience that the interview was “a tough act to follow.” Appearing before students at the university after watching the telecast Wednesday night, Hunt termed the show “a big hype job and a rlpoff.” Nixon had “misconceptions about possible blackmail attempts” by him (Hunt), Hunt said. Hunt did not elaborate. Asked what he thinks of Nixon now, he replied, “My dis enchantment grows more every day. I never expected the administration to support us,” he added. Interview had too much rambling LOS ANGELES (AP) - Pre ceded by mellow murmurs of French horns and the brisk roll of drums, Chapter One,* David Frost’s “The Nixon Interviews” finally has aired and reaction to it is rolling in. Nobody asked, but my opinion of it is: Absorbing viewing, too much rambling and no con fession after all the buildup giv en ex-President Richard Nix on’s first public Watergate comments since he resigned. As seen here Wednesday night on KTTV, one of 155 sta tions televising the 90-minute program, the show didn’t lack for one tiling: Commercials. It had six breaks with a total of 29 local and national ads for The Schnitzel of Old Vienna is famed By TOM HOGE AP Newsfeature Writer An Austrian friend once boasted that his country was known best for the Blue Dan ube Waltz and Siginund Freud. He should have added that su perb culinary masterpiece known as the schnitzel. Actually the schnitzel has coine to einbody the great fam ily of cutlets common to the cuisines of both Austria and Gennahy. They range from the Wiener Schnitzel, that delec table dish of paper-thin veal, breaded and dipped and finally fried a golden brown, to the elaborate version named after Baron Friedrich von Holstein, a diplomat from Imperial times who had a fondness for fine food as well as intrigue. Schnitzel a la Holstein in its ultimate glory consists of veal slices, floured and dipped in butter, then sauteed and served with a fried egg on top deco rated with criss-crossed ancho vy strips. As if this were not enough, the dish is framed with tiny portions of smoked salmon, caviar, mushrooms, truffles and cooked crayfish tails. For my own taste, the egg and an chovy is quite enough, with maybe a caper or two lurking in the background. I’m told purists in Vienna would not dream of eating schnitzel with any hot vege table other than potato, prefer ably boiled, but that they do items ranging from Kai Kan cat food to a movie, “Black Sunday.” Frost began the first of four shows —for which he paid Nix on a reported $600,000, plus a percentage of the profits — with a montage of photographs of the headlines and principals in the Watergate scandal and a brief spoken refresher of what it involved. The scene then shifted to Frost and Nixon, seated in easy chairs in a comfortable study set in the living room of a rented South Laguna, Calif., home. The cameras used only three basic shots — head-and-shoul der views of each man and wide angle showing them facing each other. welcome a crisp, cool, green salad on the side. I have found the best accompaniments to be chilled, peeled, thin cucumber slices that have been marinated in olive oil, salt and pepper. When cooking a schnitzel, you should choose a top grade of veal. It does not have to be the filet — in fact, many Austrians prefer part of the leg. But the meat should be fine-grained, young, tender and juicy. Austrian and German chefs insist that Wiener Schnitzel should be deep fried in a mix ture of oil and lard to achieve the perfect taste and texture. 0 1 d t i m e Viennese cooks would turn over in their graves if they knew that some modern housewives here and abroad sometimes try to save money by substituting lean beef for veal or even use pork as the centerpiece. But they can’t take the place of veal. Here’s a recipe I like for Wie ner Schnitzel. 2 pounds leg of veal cut into slices ¥« inch thick 1 cup fresh lemon juice Salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 eggs 2 tablespoons water ¥« cup flour 1 cup fine bread crumbs 1 cup each, olive oil and lard Pound each slice of veal to about inch thickness, then marinate in lemon juice in glass baking dish for 1 hour. Pat meat dry with paper tow els, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, dip into eggs beat en with the water, then dip into flour and shake off excess. Fi nally dip into bread crumbs. Gently shake any excess crumbs from meat and refrig erate 20 minutes. Heat oil and lard in 12-inch, heavy skillet till light haze forms over it then add veal. Cook cutlets over me dium heat 3 to 4 minutes each side or till brown. Serve gar nished with lemon wedges. Serves 4. Good with chilled rose wine. “PRETTY BABY” NEW YORK (AP) - Keith Carradine, Susan Sarandon and Brooke Shields will star in Paramount Pictures’ new film about New Orleans’ red light district in the early 20th centu ry, ‘Pretty Baby” is the true story of a child raised in “Sto ry ville” and her association with a man who photographed the women working in its bor dellos.

Ford spoke at a YMCA meeting in Dallas Wednesday night, but didn’t mention the interview with the msn he succeeded and later par doned. A Ford aide said arrangements had been made to tape the telecast for later viewing by Ford if he desired. There were no plans for President Carter to watch the show, said White House spokesman Jody Powell. Many members of the Senate and House missed the interview because Congress was still in session when the telecast began. Sen. Charles H. Percy, R-Hl., said he had seen only a few minutes of the telecast “but I had seen enough.” He said he didn’t like “the idea of a former president of the United States appearing in such a context and for money.” In Honolulu, Ben Bradlee, executive editor of the Washington Post — which first linked the Nixon White House to the Watergate break-in — said Nixon’s ad mission that he let the American people down “was very moving.” “He said a lot. He said he made some bad misjudgments. He hasn’t said that before,” Bradlee said after watching the show. “Factually, I don’t think there was anything new.” Viewers favoring the raised eyebrow, go-for-the-jugular style of CBS’ Mike Wallace would have been disappointed by the Frost manner: Firm, consistently civil, voice raised in doubt only a few times. Nixon, on the other hand, proved a fascinating picture, his lips pursed at times, flash ing a tight, quick grin now and then, tartly snapping, “Now just a moment” at one point, then verbally stumbling, play ing for time to collect his thoughts the next. It may read as an inquisition, but certainly didn’t play as one. Towards the end, Frost, with Nixon having earlier denied he violated the law in his handling of the Watergate affair, tried a philosophical approach, a sort of let’s-make-a-clean-breast-of it tack.

The other shows will air May 12, 19 and 25. Whether Wednesday’s opener fails to reach, reaches or ex ceeds that goal won’t be known for at least a week, according to a spokesman for the A.C.
