...specifically challenged by the Administration, the Cox task force was looking into a wide variety of other reported criminal acts. They range from "dirty tricks" allegedly committed in behalf of candidates of both parties to various allegations of perjury. Yet the central thrust seems directed at the all but endless amounts of cash raised by Nixon's moneymen during the last three biennial elections-some $60 million for the 1972 race alone...
Delicious Dust. In a consuming search for Walpoliana, Lewis alerted bookmen, placed ads in newspapers and spent endless hours in libraries and bookstores. "I have had my share of dust," he says, "and it has been delicious. I saw all the unwanted Walpoliana lying about and felt like Sinbad in the Cave of Diamonds." He gleefully made off with prints once owned by Walpole that he saw hanging unrecognized in friends' houses.

Among the endless convoys of military trucks and Jeeps were the motley fleets of civilian vehicles mobilized for the war. In the first days of the fighting, Tel Aviv had been nearly emptied of all taxis and trucks-and here in the desert you could see why. Private delivery vans, called up in the mobilization, were now at the front, still bearing the markings of the milk or bread companies that they served...
