...extraordinary series of press conferences, speeches and interviews, Agnew conjured up some long-dormant poltergeists of American politics. Hubert Humphrey, he said, was "soft on Communism." In addition, the Vice President was "soft on inflation and soft on law and order over the years" ? in fact, "squishy soft." Because of Humphrey's attempt to straddle hawk and dove lines on Viet Nam, said Agnew, the Vice President "begins to look a lot like Neville Chamberlain."

Among today's anarchic rebels, there are almost as many power centers as there are radicals. So Combat's attempts to link two or three people to oldtime Communism are not very imaginative. Columbia University's new acting president, Andrew Cordier, confided Combat, was "one of Otto Otepka's State Department security cases, also involved in the Bang-Jensen case." Even a reader with a long memory for such things is likely to be puzzled...
