Helms's ultimate fate in the investigation has also eclipsed the involvement of Geneen and Gerrity in the press during the past few weeks. A Rowland Evans and Robert Novak column in late August urged President Carter to order the Justice Department to drop its case against Helms, never once mentioning the ITT angle or the details of how the multinational funnelled $350,000 to Allende's opponents in 1970 with the advice and assistance of the CIA. The Evans and Novak apologia drew rebuttals from columnists Anthony Lewis of the New York Times and Mary McGrory of the Washington...
...clue to the Justice Department's willingness to bring Helms to trial may have been supplied last month in an equally controversial but unrelated investigation. The Los Angeles Times reported in August that Justice had decided to drop its prosecution of John Morley, a former high-level official in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who directed the FBI's alleged mail-opening and wire-tapping campaign against the Weather Underground terrorist organization in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

It will take years to change the system but at least now, there is some potential. David Smith said of years past. "The Mayor, [teachers'] union and corporate community might have stepped in and become...
...been responsible for securing Stokowski a contract that paid him $2000 per concert, they publicly criticized him for demanding what was then an astronomical fee. Money was only one bone of contention, though. As Stokowski's salary went up, he demanded that the number of concerts scheduled each season drop, inciting the anger of management. The straw that broke the camel's back was Stokowski's insistence on programming contemporary works: he viewed the well-subscribed concert series as an ideal opportunity to expose audiences to music that record stores couldn't sell and radios wouldn't air. But unfortunately...
