...Ragan, a bugging expert from Massapequa, N.Y. Caulfield testified for two days in May on his role in the offering of Executive clemency to Conspirator James McCord Jr. This week the committee planned to question both him and Ragan about the bugging, on orders from the White House, of Columnist Joseph Kraft's telephone in 1969.

Chicago Sun-Times TV Columnist Ron Powers thinks that "somewhere in the collective consciousness of people in this country is the ideal composite face and voice of the American Man-and Cronkite has it."
