...professor's report on genetically determined differences in intelligence. TELEVISION questions the networks' handling of their lively new "magazine" shows.

Justice Department attorneys were aghast. Was the court unaware, they wondered, that there are bugs in foreign embassies, and that in many cases the Government could hardly disclose all details of such an eavesdrop? Attorney General John Mitchell called the court's decision "a great disappointment," and Solicitor General Erwin Griswold took the unusual step of filing a Government petition for a rehearing.
