Go Quietly...or Else [signed] [first edition]

Mr. Agnew challenges the widely held beliefs about his alleged involvement in bribery and extortion while in office. His testimony provides a detailed, well-documented, week-by-week account of the whirlwind of events leading to his resignation and unsnarles the tangle of distorted and willfully contrived evidence that has burdened his life for the past six years. The Freedom of Information Act has made available to Mr. Agnew the heavily censored files of the prosecutors, documenting Justice Department efforts to fabricate a case. Far more startling and significant, however, are the revelations concerning the tactics of high officials of the Nixon administration to force Mr. Agnew to resign immediately.
