...Hunt's own account, nothing so serious as murder was ever considered-but a drugging of Anderson was indeed contemplated. In an interview with TIME Correspondent David Beckwith, Hunt, who is serving a 2½-to 8-year sentence at Florida's Eglin Air Force Base prison camp for his role in the Watergate breakin, gave his version of the plot. According to him, former White House Counsel Charles Colson suggested that Anderson might be discredited if he appeared on his live radio program under the influence of a drug that would cause him to ramble incoherently. With...
...Florida's Eglin Air Force Base, by far the smallest of the camps with only 5,000 refugees, there has been only a 2% breakdown rate, and officials predict that out-processing will be virtually completed by Oct. 1. This is in part because of Eglin's small size but also because it has had very good relations with nearby communities. Surprisingly, the camp's many semiliterate fishermen have been among the fastest to find jobs. Says James Chandler, a State Department liaison officer at Eglin: "I thought the fishermen would be the hardest group to place...
Proving Guilt. At Florida's Eglin Air Force Base, the security process has at last been streamlined so that a large family can be screened in two or three days instead often. There are 4,600 refugees at Eglin; almost 1,200 others have already been released from there, and the flow is continuing at 120 a day. California's Camp Pendleton, with a refugee population of 16,600, releases between 300 and 400 people a day. Fort Chaffee, Ark., sends about 200 people each day from its population of more than 24,000. Yet no sooner...
...fewer than five federal agencies, including the FBI and CIA. The flow of newcomers, who had been moving fairly quickly from Guam to military bases in the continental U.S., and thence into new American homes, diminished to a trickle. One day only three refugees left Florida's Eglin Air Force Base. Guam had reached saturation point, with 50,000 people jammed into its Tent City. "I only hope it doesn't sink," said one beleaguered State Department official in Washington. Camp authorities called for voluntary water rationing. The danger of disease was heightened by the condition...
Finding Sponsors. The three refugee camps in the continental U.S. -Eglin, California's Camp Pendleton, and Arkansas' Fort Chaffee-were showing signs of strain as the massive resettlement program ground on. The refugee population at Chaffee swelled to more than 23,000. The Army was caught short on food supplies and cut the refugees' meals to two large spoonfuls of rice with a bit of chicken and a quarter of an apple. Still, morale was good, and it improved after the army announced it would increase the food rations...
