23. CASE From Page 1 reveal who erased the tape. After the trial, Sirica had a party at his house with many of the principals of the case, Rhyne said. "He whirled around and said, 'There is only one person in this room who knows who erased that Rhyne said the judge, a longtime friend, announced to the group. Rhyne responded: "And I said, "That is for me to know and you to find Friends describe Rhyne as a devoted lawyer of great integrity and a loyal friend to Nixon, his classmate at Duke University Law School in 1935.

Born in Charlotte, N.C., Rhyne came to Washington after Duke and immediately excelled at bar association politics, becoming president of the Washington Bar and the American Bar Association. He is general counsel to the National Institute of Municipal Law Officers, a group he helped form that represents cities in lawsuits. It is through that group that he and his son, William, whom he calls "the greatest lawyer in the world," got involved in the Jackson case. WINNERS From Page 1B opened it it all fell out! Little stars little pieces stick them here, there and everywhere. I gritted my teeth, and they hit the wastebasket.

Now I'll never know if I won that 10 million or not." I was starting to feel better and better. Then I opened Doris Arnold's letter about how she and her pharmacist husband, Sammie, won an all-expenses-paid trip to West Germany in a Schering-Plough sweepstakes for druggists and stayed in the same hotel as Prince Charles and Lady Diana, practically rubbing elbows with them the whole time. Oh, Ed, what have I done? "Maybe I was dumb enough to enter a sweepstakes in 1978," wrote a Bruceton woman, Wanda Noles, "but my dumbness paid off. I was the grand prize winner of $10,000 from Sunset House of California." Another Jackson couple reported winning a Panasonic portable TV several years ago. It's still doing service in their breakfast nook, they say.

Some, unfortunately, were up against different odds. Many called bemoaning the years and dollars worth of postage they've licked and mailed away for nought; Roy and Donna Hood shared their outrage over "winning" an $888 shopping spree. They had to mail in a $3 "handling fee" to get it. It was mailed to them with 18 cents' postage and turned out to be no more than $888 worth of cash discounts on the company's line of merchandise. Hood says he can get better prices at Wal-Mart and Service Merchandise even with the so-called "discount." And it would be hard to find a "prize winner" more disgusted than Albert Horn, who was notified by a series of important-looking documents that he'd gotten second place in a sweepstakes whose first prize was a pricey new Cadillac.

"Now, you'd have thought second prize to a Cadillac would be something pretty good," Horn said, ruefully displaying his award mailed to him by bulk rate. It was a little white envelope marked "sterling silver jewelry" and contained a heart-shaped cutout charm about as big as the end of your finger and about the weight of heavy-duty alumimum foil. Apparently, the odds of winning something are not impossible, if that many local people have scored a hit. But, remember when we talked about this two weeks ago, the point was that most sweepstakes also put strong pressure on you to subscribe to magazines or order merchandise when you send in your entry. Nobody reported winning anything without having to subscribe to, order or buy something, So I leave it to you to decide if you're willing to invest 22 cents and the cost of a magazine subscription (even the dull ones cost $7 or $8 a year) every time you want to take your chances on $10 million.

Or a heart-shaped silver charm. Or a dozen eggs. Me, I'm saving up for a bigger and better wastebasket. Color me poor and stubborn. management training room in the basement of Law Enforcement Complex at 234 Institute St.
