...come under increasing congressional attention. The troubles began last June when the Rockefeller commission revealed that the NSA had fed 1,100 pages of material on U.S. citizens to the CIA's "Operation Chaos," which was aimed at uncovering foreign influences among U.S. radical groups. Last week despite vigorous White House lobbying against it, the Senate intelligence committee called NSA Director Lew Allen, 50, an Air Force lieutenant general with a doctorate in nuclear physics, to explain some of his agency's operations. It was the first time an NSA chief has ever testified in public about...
...think of that bail-out as "I don't know, it might have been a mistake." When Con Ed skipped its regular stock dividend in 1974, banks' loans to electric utilities, as a result of Federal Reserve Bank officials' pressure, jumped from $5.9 billion to $8.4 billion.

As if his pitching were not enough, he also produced...
...Ford Committee of the Faculty's report on the Loeb Drama Center and theater at Harvard came out last March--but far from settling an argument, the report fed it, and last week a possible conflict between Faculty and student drama participants seemed on the point of breaking...
