As chairman of the US house judiciary committee, Peter Rodino, who has died aged 95, presided over the 1974 impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon, who was accused of illegally trying to cover up the burglary of the Democrats' Watergate election headquarters.
Rodino, a stickler for procedure, argued that his judiciary committee already existed to deal with the issue, and he was supported by the powerful Democrat majority leader, Tip O'Neill.
Rodino took no pleasure in the outcome; he said later that he had been praying that his committee would be able to exonerate Nixon.

During the 1970s two Italian Americans, John Sirica and Peter Rodino, emerged as major principals in one of the most significant chapters in America's history involving actions to impeach the president of the United States.

Presented with one of the gravest crises in recent history, Rodino rose to the occasion with unexpected skills and unusual fairness, resisting a rush to judgment in his endeavor to forge a bipartisan majority for an impeachment resolution.

For while movies like 1977's Raid on Entebbe, starring Peter Finch and Horst Buchholz, portray Israel in a heroic stance, the new picture is about the misgivings of Golda Meir, the then Israeli prime minister, as agents from Mossad tracked down the perpetrators.
The film, with Eric Bana as the lead Israeli assassin, is expected to feature the killing of the Palestinian Mohammad Hamshiri, who answered his phone in Paris to fall victim to a radio-detonated bomb under his desk, and the death of Mohammad Boudia, the director of operations for Black September, in a car bomb explosion.
