During the past six months the Federal Bureau of Investigation has come under fire for its use of electronic devices--telephone wiretaps and hidden "bugs"--to gather evidence to fight crime and protect the national security. Last summer the Supreme Court nullified a tax evasion conviction on the grounds that evidence used was obtained illegally. Throughout the summer and early fall, there were strident cries for statutory limitations on such activities--with particular reference to those carried out by the F.B.I. And last weekend, F.B.I. director J. Edgar Hoover and his former boss, ex-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, accused...
Practically everyone connected with the cover story was typecast for the job. Bonn Bureau Chief Herman Nickel was born in Berlin, has been covering Germany for four years. He was able to get a 45-minute interview with Kiesinger an hour after he took the oath of office-the first interview granted by the new Chancellor. On hand to help were Correspondent Gisela Bolte, our German economics specialist, and Stringer Burton Pines, who is working for a doctorate in modern German history. European Economic Correspondent Robert Ball, stationed in Zurich, came to Bonn for the story; Ball...
Bailey knows all about bugging and hypnosis as well as polygraphy. Along with electronic gadgets, his jet-age operation includes five office cars and five investigators headed by the former chief investigator for Boston's strangler bureau. Divorced and remarried (three children), he is rich in possessions: a Pontiac GTO, a Thunderbird, three sizable yachts, a 17-room ranch house and 80 acres in Marshfield near Boston. The whole empire is connected by two-way radios that keep the boss in constant touch as he swoops around the country in his Cessna 310 airplane...
Statistically, the ethnic concern is understandable. Some 34 million Americans, or 19%, are listed by the most recent census as of "foreign stock," which the Census Bureau defines as either foreign-born or with at least one foreign-born parent. Others have defined "ethnic" as any individual who differs from "the basic white Protestant Anglo-Saxon settlers by religion, language and culture." Since, of the total population, 65% come from non-Anglo-Saxon stock, this amounts to a lot of voters, most of them in the big cities. In New York, as the Rheingold-beer ads say, there are more...
...enlarged, in the St. Lawrence River opposite Montreal. Comparisons are inevitable with New York's fair, which was good fun, particularly in its imaginative displays of industrial show business, but never really made the grade. Unlike the New York Fair, Expo got accreditation from Paris' choosy Bureau of International Expositions, which demands that each nation pays for its own exhibition. At Montreal, more than 70 nations are represented, and their pavilions are already rising in spectacular steel and concrete. Opening day is next April...
