...vote of 14 to 5, the Foreign Relations Committee demanded the creation of a nine-member Senate "Committee on Intelligence Operations"-in which it would participate. Under the resolution, drafted by Minnesota Democrat Eugene McCarthy with the chairman's approval, Fulbright would be empowered to add three members of his committee to the special subcommittee-presently consisting of six members of the Armed Services and Appropriations panels and chaired by Georgia Democrat Richard Russell-that is already responsible for supervising the intelligence agency...

Adenauer had been in and out of Nazi prisons since 1933, when Hitler booted him from the lord-mayoralty of Cologne. At war's end, he was a tough, uncompromising democrat of 70, unfazed by the horrors of defeat (he had witnessed the decline of both Bismarck and the Kaiser). When the Gestapo released him during the Götterdämmerung of the Allied advance, Adenauer trekked circuitously through the flooded Rhineland to his home at Rhöndorf, then...
