...exerting their influence upon those organs of the government which employ think tanks, mostly within the executive branch, citizens can grasp--feebly but surely--the strings of power that blow in bureaucratic winds. The Pentagon Papers was a beginning. The press has a responsibility to seek out and then inform the public of abuses within the decision-making process of the government. Then, through the force of popular opinion and at the polls, Americans can accept or reject the government's and in particular the think tanks, course of action, or, as with Vietnam, refuse to participate in implementation...

Well aware of that, presidential candidates increasingly seek their services. So far this year, South Dakota Senator George McGovern has used the stars most effectively, dispatching a money-raising road show organized by Actor Warren Beatty. Its kick-off concert in Los Angeles last week starred Barbra Streisand, James Taylor and Carole King-and took in a handy $300,000. But all of the contenders have a star following. A partial listing...
