...senators quickly established a telephone code (one ring, then hang up and dial again) to be sure callers were friendly. They refrained from phoning staffs and families for fear their lines were tapped by police. The aides who brought food and drink were required to knock twice in short bursts to identify themselves. No more than half a dozen outsiders knew where they were; even their wives had not been told their location so that they could legitimately profess ignorance to the police...
...article, which appeared in the quarterly's fall 1978 issue, was written by Washington Lawyer Max M. Kampelman. It urges the establishment of a professional code of ethics, the use of internal ombudsmen, and passage of antitrust measures to contain the growth of media conglomerates. Perhaps most significant for Sinatra, Kampelman argues for statutory revisions that would make it easier for public figures to win libel suits...
...missile telemetry. Telemetry is the remote electronic means by which a rocket or a warhead sends back to earth data about its performance during a test flight. One way the U.S. monitors Soviet compliance with SALT is to intercept and analyze Soviet telemetry.

The incident assumed political importance, for it went to the heart of the American obsession with verification. Ohio Senator...
...practice should be considered a violation of SALT "whenever it impedes" verification. (U.S. intelligence usually knows what information is contained on various channels of telemetry and which channels it must have access to for purposes of verifying compliance?and therefore which channels must not be encrypted, or transmitted in code.)

Just before Vance was due to meet with Gromyko in Moscow last October, Warnke and Earle raised the issue with...
...expenses for such grassroots lobbying are not deductible under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax code. Yet Rosenthal found "widespread misunderstanding of and noncompliance with the grassroots lobbying provision of our tax laws" as well as evidence of lax IRS enforcement. For example, one major insurance company ran an advertisement arguing for limited product liability laws, urging people to "Write a letter to your legislators. Be heard." Such action seems to be grassroots lobbying according to the IRS tax code which prohibits the deduction of expenses "in connection with any attempt to influence the general public...with respect to legislative...
