...intelligence squad grew out of a team of so-called "plumbers," originally recruited by the Administration to investigate leaks to the media. They included G. Gordon Liddy, a former White House staffer and then attorney for the C.R.P.'s finance committee; Robert Mardian, a former assistant U.S. Attorney General and an official for the C.R.P., and E. Howard Hunt, a former White House consultant. The lead man in the Watergate caper was Bernard Barker, an ex-CIA agent. Federal investigators learned that $114,000 from the C.R.P. had found its way into Barker's Miami bank account...
...GORDON PARKS JR. has directed from a Philip Henty script. Parks, who did some special photography for Burn and The Godfather, and who is the son of the Life photographer and creator of Shaft, far surpasses his father in filmmaking vigor in this, his first feature. It's all pretty crude, but he keeps things rolling, manages to cool off more obvious hot elements while keeping the cold liquid, and with crisp photography brings us closer into Harlem's high and low life than any of the bigger-budgeted current black flicks.

The man who dismissed him, former Nixon Campaign Manager John Mitchell, left the campaign a few days later because...
Eagleton's name, says McGovern Executive Assistant Gordon Weil, had first come up speculatively about a month before. When his assets and liabilities were discussed at the last-minute staff meeting, several staff men mentioned rumors of a drinking problem; none, insists Frank Mankiewicz, concerned hospitalization. Weil and one or two other staffers made quick calls to Missouri political figures and to journalists. Says Hart: "There was no tangible evidence whatsoever. Nobody could verify." Despite firm, repeated words of discouragement from Edward Kennedy, however, McGovern stuck to the belief that Ted would run as No. 2. Myer Feldman...
Grousing. Plainly, McGovern was badly served by his staff-a staff of his choosing. He has had other problems with it, partly because he has confused the areas of authority. Gordon Weil, 35, is an abrasive Ph.D. Who joined two years ago as press secretary. He undertook to investigate the Eagleton rumors and he was the staff man principally responsible for the poorly worked-out welfare scheme that McGovern was forced to abandon during the primary campaign. After McGovern persuaded Larry O'Brien to sign on as national campaign director, Rival Gary Hart started putting out reports that...
