...original Magna Carta has dis appeared, but the document that will be displayed in the Capitol Rotunda for the next year is the first of four copies signed by a reluctant King John at Runnymede in 1215, granting personal and political freedoms to England's rebellious barons.

Ungar is more concerned with how one organization, with thousands of agents and a $500 million budget, can respond so automatically to the whims of its director. There are lengthy discussions about Hoover's fanatical desire to destroy the New Left, and his seeming inability to recognize the civil rights...
