According to the Review, when the Walker Commission sought reporters' accounts of events, Larry Mulay, general manager of the City News Bureau, censored his own reporters' memos to the commission, including one man's claim that a policeman "calmly kicked [a] photographer in the groin and walked on." Explained Mulay: "We have to work with the police, and we depend on them for information all year long." The Review chided the Tribune for assailing all the "anonymous statements" in the Walker Report, then quoting "unimpeachable" (but anonymous) sources and "men of unquestioned integrity" as the basis...
...lack vital data about the attacking missiles and about ABM performance," says Wiesner, who calls Sentinel "that Edsel of ABM's." "So we just pick some numbers that seem rational and we use them to make whatever point serves our purpose." Ted Kennedy quotes the Budget Bureau's Richard Stubbing, who evaluated $40 billion worth of aircraft and missile projects initiated since 1955 and concluded that "less than 40% of the effort produced systems with acceptable electronic performance."

Two of the notebooks were found on his bureau, the third at the foot of Sirhan's bed. Adamantly refusing to accept his plea, Walker warned Sirhan's lawyers that he could order him held to his chair by restraining straps and gagged with a special face mask if he did not keep silent...
...words of one high official of the Johnson administration, "one of the cement pourers," and enjoys the reputation of being a captive of the highway lobbies. For planning roads in Colorado or Wyoming, Turner is fine; he is a competent engineer and has been with the Bureau of Public Roads since 1929. But to design roads which cut through congested urban areas a city planner is needed. The Cambridge Inner Belt fight clearly demonstrates how delicate are the problems of where to place a road, what people will be displaced, what buildings will be torn down, and how they will...
