...became a unique national presence. Hoover and the FBI were one-creator and creation. He served eight Presidents as the world's most powerful policeman. With a genius for administration and popular myth, he fashioned his career as an improbable bureaucratic morality play peopled by bad guys and G-men. The drama worked well enough when everyone agreed on the villains-"Pretty Boy" Floyd, John Dillinger, Nazi agents-but finally curdled somewhat in more ambiguous days...
...Adjunct G-Men. Publishing requests for assistance in catching criminals is hardly new. Both the FBI and an A.M.A. official insist that medical journals have occasionally been so used in the past and will be in the future; indeed, the current issue of the A.M.A. Journal notifies doctors of another woman being sought by the Bureau. Nor does the confidentiality of the doctor-patient relationship, which covers only medical matters, excuse doctors from the demands of the law. In many states, for instance, doctors are required to report gunshot wounds, and in some they must also alert authorities to suspected...
...featured subjects ranging from birds to Presidents.

Says Reuss: "They very much reflect American life, from the 1930s when it was G-men and early airplanes, to the '60s when the Beatles and spacemen were popular."

...antipoverty. And he is increasingly sensitive to the decisiveness issue. In what appears to be part of a conscious design to show himself to be forthright, he publicly endorsed last weekend's antiwar rally in Washington. Earlier he fired a formidable salvo at the FBI, accusing the G-men of conducting widespread surveillance of last year's Earth Day demonstrations against pollution. "If antipollution rallies are a subject of intelligence concern," Muskie asked, "is anything immune?" (In fact, the Department of Justice insists that the FBI sent agents to only four Earth Day rallies...
...Chateau Latour ($60 a bottle), a 1949 Chateau Haut Brion ($43), and a goodly supply of 1961 Dom Pérignon at $55 per magnum. Les Trois Soleils offers no entertainment, but "dancing weekends" are a regular attraction at Orly's top-floor Brasserie, where "Les 5 G-Men" pound a beat of which J. Edgar Hoover would hardly approve...
