Megaton Monster. Behind the pessimism is the deep distrust with which the U.S. and the Soviet Union view each other's proposals. The U.S. plan contemplates a comprehensive limit on both offensive and defensive weaponry. It calls for a numerical limit of about 1,900 delivery vehicles for each side. The exact mix within that limit would be left to each power to decide. Within the quantitative limit, each side could make a number of qualitative improvements on existing weapons systems...

Caldwell had become a specialist in news concerning the Black Panther Party. He was received at first with distrust, but his respect for confidences had finally won him the trust of party members. That trust would evaporate if he were to go behind the closed doors of a grand jury, claimed Caldwell. The Government disagreed, asserting that "the Black Panthers depend on the mass media for their constant endeavor to maintain themselves in the public eye and thus gain adherents and continued support...
