...Correspondent Strobe Talbott or State Department Correspondent Christopher Ogden, who had an exclusive interview with Secretary Vance before his latest trip (see NATION). When Vance took off for Africa, Talbott went along. Senior Writer Ed Magnuson used the extensive files from Ogden and Talbott for this week's cover story assessing the Secretary and his record...
...from a plane-seat armrest. He prefers formal briefings, does not treat reporters as cronies and does not like to gossip. Still, there are signs that his style is becoming more relaxed as he gets to know the dozen or so correspondents who are steadily assigned to him and cover the State Department. Occasionally his aides will talk Vance into meeting with the press late at night, and the sessions often show the Secretary at his best-exhilarated at the end of a long day, laughing at the cracks of reporters and updating them on the day's events...
Bell has been uncomfortably mulling over the FBI cases ever since he took office and found out about the bureau's misdeeds. They were being investigated by Assistant Attorney General J. Stanley Pottinger, but he was making little progress because of a stubborn cover-up within the FBI. Pottinger had begun his probe in 1976 by recruiting a team of twelve FBI agents, which was later expanded to 24, all of whom were chosen on the basis of their known integrity and loyalty to the U.S. Government rather than to the FBI establishment...

Among them were memos from Mark Felt-dubbed "one-liners" by investigators-giving Edward Miller explicit orders for break-ins and other illegal activities. The cabinet, say FBI sources, was tucked away in a corner of a little-used public room of the building and only came to light when a low-level employee suggested that it was an eyesore and should be thrown out. But it was opened first...
Emmerich condemns the discipline of sociobiology as "a chaos of untested and untenable extrapolations." This single phrase indicates he ignored the major portion of DeVore's speech which explained how the consistent findings by a wide variety of researchers support specific behavioral theories. To cover his bets Emmerich says that zoologists should not try to explain human behavior. He mentions the surprising genetic similarity between man and other relatives but it does not occur to him that we probably share some basic behavioral genes as well as some basic anatomical genes. He claims DeVore made "unverifiable conjectures" and says "human...
