...sworn statements buttressed with lie-detector tests, De Louette said that Fournier (the name is an alias) recruited him to smuggle the heroin last December. Using money given to him by Fournier, De Louette bought the camper, then drove to Pontchartrain, outside Paris. There another man delivered the heroin and helped hide it inside the car. De Louette arranged for shipment of the car and flew to New York. After his arrest, he asked for help from a staff member of the French consulate. De Louette did so, he said, because Fournier had given him the name...
Oliver was a witness tailor-made for Bailey's dramatic methods. On the stand, he startled the prosecution by declaring: "This whole proceeding is completely unfair.

The floor was pounded until the blips ceased, but Bayh decided against bringing in jackhammers to tear up the concrete to retrieve the dead bug. During his years in the White House, Lyndon Johnson spiced his private conversations with such intimate disclosures...
...invasion route. Situated about 70 miles north of the Mexican border, the San Clemente beach had always provided an excellent detour around the Government checkpoints on the freeway northward. Now the beach is manned by dozens of Secret Service agents with infra-red lenses and every kind of detector imaginable. One night last week four illegal migrants were spotted on the beach by a snoop scope. But rather than turn on the floodlights and wake up the Nixons, the Secret Service men silently chased down the Mexicans...
