...nearly 21 months-from April 1970 to November 1971- wiretap applications were often reviewed and granted, not by Mitchell, but by a civil service bureaucrat. An aide scrawled Mitchell's initials on many of the 375 wiretap authorizations made during that period. Since many of the cases involved are based primarily on evidence obtained by electronic surveillance, Government prosecutors find their cases collapsing after trial judges disallow the improperly authorized wiretaps. So far, 78 are being challenged in court; an appellate court has overturned the convictions of members of a smuggling organization in Miami, and a Detroit judge...
...Late. More revealing were the networks' sidebar interviews with ordinary people. Barbara Walters talked with her interpreter, a bureaucrat who had been sent with his wife to the country to work with peasants. Their three children had been left behind, and the interpreter was now uncomplainingly separated even from his wife. That brief vignette spoke a volume about the dutiful Chinese character and the Maoist regime...
...information policy, Anderson exaggerated his accomplishment by trying to make it seem a victory of the free press over official censorship. Said he: "It is a secret now if a third-rate bureaucrat blows his nose. The security stamp is being used as promiscuously as a stapling machine." True enough, in general.

...energetic labor leader who earned the enmity of Russia by organizing the U.N. defense of South Korea. When he left office, the Soviets objected to more than a dozen prominent candidates and finally agreed to the obscure Dag Hammarskjold only because they mistakenly thought he was a colorless bureaucrat. When Hammarskjold proved to be a vigorous leader who heavily committed U.N. troops and funds in the Congolese civil war, the Soviets began insisting that he be replaced by a three-man "troika." They dropped that demand only when they got the kind of neutral they wanted: U Thant...
...Race-conscious Japanese are also asking why Nixon has done nothing about West German textile shipments to the U.S., which amount to almost as much as Japanese sales and have been rising more rapidly. Nixon added insult to Japanese injury by choosing to deliver his ultimatum through an obscure bureaucrat: Anthony J. Jurich. In Washington, Jurich is remembered only vaguely as a former foreign policy and defense consultant to the Republican Party and some business firms. In Japan he was totally unknown until Sept. 21, when he turned up unannounced outside Tanaka's office as a spokesman for Nixon...
