House of Representatives Report No. 93-1305; House Calendar No. 426. Cover has some war and soiling. An impeachment process against Richard Nixon was formally initiated on February 6 1974 when the United States House of Representatives passed a resolution H.Res. 803 giving its Judiciary Committee authority to investigate whether sufficient grounds existed to impeach Richard Nixon the 37th President of the United States of high crimes and misdemeanors primarily related to the Watergate scandal. This investigation was undertaken one year after the United States Senate established a select committee to investigate the 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington D.C. and the Nixon Administration's attempted cover-up of its involvement. Following a subpoena from the Judiciary Committee in April 1974 edited transcripts of many Watergate-related conversations from the Nixon White House tapes were made public by Nixon but the committee pressed for full tapes and additional conversations. Nixon refused but on July 24 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against him. On July 27 29 and 30 1974 the Committee approved three articles of impeachment against Nixon for obstruction of justice abuse of power and contempt of Congress and reported those articles to the House of Representatives. Before the House could vote on the impeachment resolutions Nixon made public one of the additional conversations known as the "Smoking Gun Tape" which made clear his complicity in the cover-up. Nixon resigned from office on August 9 1974. It is widely believed that had Nixon not resigned his impeachment by the House and removal from office by a trial before the United States Senate would have occurred. U. S.

Rear board weak and restrengthened with glue. Pencil erasure residue on fep. War Department Document No. 394. The following system of Drill Regulations for Infantry is approved and published for the information and government of the Regular Army and the Organized Militia of the United States. With a view to ensure uniformity throughout the Army all infantry drill formations not embraced in this system are prohibited. This represents the state of knowledge and the state of practice at the time the United States Army was engaged in overseas combat operations during the First World War. Success in battle is the ultimate object of all military training; success may be looked for only when the training is intelligent and thorough. Commanding officers are accountable for the proper training of their respective organizations within the limits prescribed by regulations and orders. The excellence of an organization is judged by its field efficiency. The field efficiency of an organization depends primarily upon its effectiveness as a whole. Thoroughness and uniformity in the training of the units of an organization are indispensable to the efficiency of the whole; it is by such means alone that the requisite teamwork may be developed. The Drill Regulations are furnished as a guide. They provide the principles for training and for increasing the probability of success in battle. The principles of combat are considered in Part II of these regulations. They are treated in the various schools included in Part I only to the extent necessary to indicate the functions of the various commanders and the division of responsibility between them. The amplification necessary to a proper understanding of their application is to be sought in Part II. Drill combat marches and camps ceremonies and inspections as well as manuals are all addressed.

193029126New York: Grosset & Dunlap. Very Good in Good dj. c.1930. First Edition. Hardcover. book is just lightly shelfworn vintage bookseller's label The Three Schuster Stores Book Department on front pastedown; the jacket has a number of crudely-applied old/yellowed internal tape repairs mostly fixing several tears on the spine but also with a long strip applied both internally and externally along the front flapfold; most of the front panel illustration fortunately is unblemished. 4 B&W film stills The true first edition of this title a novelization of "an original screen story written by Josephine Lovett" and starring Gloria Swanson -- then just on the cusp of a career eclipse from which she would emerge spectacularly twenty years later in SUNSET BLVD. The title page makes sure to inform us that the movie was a "United Artists Pictures which Joseph P. Kennedy Presents" -- Kennedy of course having been engaged for the previous couple of years in an affair with La Swanson. By all accounts their romantic relationship had ended by this time but they were still involved as business partners in her production company Gloria Productions which she had formed with Kennedy a few years earlier. This film directed by Allan Dwan was its final production and would probably have been classified by Norma Desmond as one of the "pictures that got small." Fun fact: among the supporting players in this film was a "William Holden" -- but not THE William Holden who co-starred with her in SUNSET BLVD. . Grosset & Dunlap hardcover
