Silence and secrecy are articles of faith and a way of life in the high-security halls of the Central Intelligence Agency. It took a murky internecine dispute with the U.S. Army to force the CIA to step forward last week to tell its side of the strange story of Thai Khac Chuyen, a supposed Vietnamese double agent killed late in June. Eight members of the U.S. Special Forces, including the Green Beret commander in Viet Nam, Colonel Robert Rheault,* are under arrest in Long Binh. A civilian lawyer for one of the Green Berets has hinted that Chuyen worked...
Fallen Among Fabians. As Shaw tells it, his socialist faith began as a personal thing - a bitterness against a class system that he felt at the patched seat of his pants. He writes of his Dublin boyhood as that of "a penniless snob." But if his poverty denied him the class privilege of a university education, it gave him great freedom of mind. He could be depended upon to rush in where pedants feared to tread. At the drop of a bourgeois top hat, he would discourse on Moses or municipal drains, on Marx or Michelangelo. Browbeating the Church...
Proof of this can be found in the group's first LP, Blind Faith (Atco), which reached No. 3 on the Billboard chart this week and has topped $1,000,000 in sales in only a month. Win-wood's composition, Can't Find My Way Home, is a farm-fresh plaint, which he sings in a sad falsetto over Baker's insinuating brushwork and the harpsichord-like plucking of two acoustic guitars.

After Cream and Traffic broke up, Clapton and Winwood began a series of two-man sessions, alternating between Clapton's $100,000 house in the Surrey hills south of London and Winwood's whitewashed, $5-a-week farm cottage on the Berkshire downs. Baker, who had known Clapton since they worked together in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, "just showed up" one day and started sitting in. With the addition of Grech, they...
...They had to share power and influence because of the democratic process; some agreement had to be established with the private groups to be affected by federal policies. But beyond that, Lowi says, liberals have been the prisoners of a pluralistic theory that has become almost an article of faith in the U.S.: the belief that out of the clash of special interest groups emerges the common interest. This pluralism has been cast in various disguises. It has been called countervailing power, creative federalism, partnership and participatory democracy, though this last phrase has also been appropriated by the New Left...
