...secret documents. Copies of 16 of these documents, which deal primarily with the bureau's surveillance of radical black and student groups, were forwarded to places where the thieves thought they would do the most good-or harm, as it were, to the FBI. Among the recipients: liberal Columnist Tom Wicker of the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, South Dakota Senator George McGovern and Congressman Parren Mitchell, a black Democrat from Maryland...

"I can't let her say that!" yelled Patricia Buckley Bozell, the managing editor of a rightist Catholic magazine, Triumph, and sister of right-wing Columnist William Buckley and Senator James Buckley. To the podium stormed Patricia; she aimed a hefty slap at Ti-Grace, who managed to ward it off.
