Shortly before dawn one day last week, while riots in the Puerto Rican section of Camden, N.J., were diverting the local police, eight men and women stole into the federal offices in the courthouse. They were determined to steal or destroy FBI documents and federal draft records. Instead, they stepped into a well-laid trap. Three floors below the Government offices, a team of FBI agents awaited their furtive entrance. By the time the roundup was completed, the agents had nabbed the eight intruders as well as 20 of their confederates who had been assigned various sentinel and communications tasks...
Painstaking Precautions. The Camden raid was carried off with such devastating precision that one defense attorney termed it "not an arrest, but an ambush." Coupled with the arrest of five alleged conspirators in Buffalo, N.Y., it may have broken the spine of the Berrigan-centered segment of the antiwar movement. The Berrigan brothers themselves are in federal prisons awaiting an October trial in Harrisburg, Pa., on charges of conspiring to blow up federal buildings and kidnap Henry Kissinger...
...deputies, who soon found the first dead man. What followed turned into a grisly mess that outranks the more gruesome mass murders of the recent American past: the 1966 killing of 16 by Charles Whitman, the University of Texas tower sniper; the gunning down of 13 people in Camden, N.J., by berserk Howard Unruh in 1949; the murder of eight student nurses in Chicago by Richard Speck five years ago. The Yuba City murders, like the 1969 Sharon Tate killings, had a special dimension of monstrosity. The murders were apparently executed systematically over a two-month period...
West, 48, was raised by his widowed mother on a farm in Camden, in the heart of South Carolina's horse country. After serving as an intelligence officer in the Pacific in World War II, he won his law degree from the University of South Carolina. He served four years in the state highway department and was elected to the state senate in 1954. Despite widespread support, he is now faced with an attack from the state's schoolteachers, who have demanded a $1,500 pay hike. Although seriously concerned with South Carolina's educational problems, he has promised taxpayers...
Master Molecule. Even more significant evidence of the agent's potential threat has been provided by Drs. Sol Spiegelman and Jeffrey Schlom of Columbia University. They report in Nature that a "double blind" study,* conducted both in Camden and at Columbia, showed a 100% correlation between particle concentrations and the presence of an enzyme, or chemical catalyst, which is associated with viruses known to cause cancer in animals. The experiment also revealed two startling similarities between the virus-like particles and tumor-causing RNA viruses: both have the same density and both share the ability to reverse the normal...
