One letter from Mr. and Mrs. Herman Stein to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 26, 1973. The Steins are against the impeachment of President Nixon. They strongly oppose "the mere consideration" of impeachment. They write, "We are even more strongly opposed to the passage of a special 'shield law' for the press and media -- those power-bloated entities which, in reckless disregard of the national interest, have already managed to crucify one of the finest Administrations this country has ever had."
