On the basis of files fed to them by at least one disgruntled former assistant to Dodd, they charged that the white-haired, square-jawed former FBI agent accepted a concatenation of cumshaw from all manner of individuals and companies seeking official favors from him. The payola, claimed the columnists, included a sapphire ring for his wife, a television set for his office, shoes for some of his family, carpeting for his house, a re-plate job for his silverware...
