While civil libertarians assail the invasion of privacy by federal agents and local cops who tap private telephones, it seems the snooping business is not a government monopoly. In this electronic age, the feds, too, can be kept under surveillance. Lawyers for Joseph A. Colombo Sr. proved that with rare candor last week. They called Justice Department officials in New York City to arrange for the surrender of the reputed underworld chieftain (TIME, April 5) on a charge of running a $5-million-a-year gambling operation-before the warrant for his arrest had been issued. How did Colombo...
...antiquated fundamental values of human life, I resented Gerald Clarke's distasteful parody [March 1] on a rare, decent book. Must all the chaste ideals left for us to hold sacred be indignantly slandered in this manner when there exists such a preponderance of depravity yet to assail...
...national leadership on several scores: its attacks on the NLF, its almost complete silence on the repression of such groups as the Panthers and the Young Lords; and the narrow trade-union economist in which it conceived the old idea of worker-student alliance.

He has accused the White House of "primitive medieval economic bloodletting" and nee-dlingly labeled the state of the economy as only "the first Nixon recession...
Slimmer of Hope. Even campuses where protest had been shunned in the past were stirred by the Cambodian action. Science-oriented Caltech experienced its first antiwar demonstration when about 250 students rallied to hear professors assail the new U.S. involvement. Some students marched into downtown Pasadena, urging residents to protest by mail to the White House. An angrier mood prevailed at the University of Maryland, where some 500 students charged into the campus Air Force ROTC building after the Nixon speech. They burned uniforms, smashed typewriters, threw files out of windows and caused at least $10,000 worth of damage...
