...Presidential aides were involved in moving Hunt from his White House job as a $ 100-a-day consultant on a narcotics-control program to a post with President Nixon's re-election committee. The FBI files contain a report of a memo dated March 30, 1972 from White House Aide W. Richard Howard to White House Aide Bruce Kehrli.

The Watergate-trial evidence showed that while Hunt was working with the committee he was also...

Whenever he was caught, he would bring out his insanity defense, get committed to a hospital, then escape. "Psychiatry as a science," he observed, "is the only science in the world that deals with extreme intangibles. I probably know...
...slums are swelling as peasants flock to the cities in search of the $1-a-day wage required by Haitian law. Many of the jobs they find are in small assembly plants, which contract with foreign firms for the cheap labor of Haitian workers. In one plant, 3.7 million Rawlings baseballs are stitched together every year for export to the U.S. Explains Owner Jules Tomar: "Baseball sewing is a nonexistent art in the U.S." But even these jobs are few and far between; at least one-third of the Haitian population is unemployed...
