Here and there, however, there are signs that the full burden of national power is beginning to have impact. Attorney General Griffin Bell is plainly appalled these days at the monastic life he must lead to do all the work before him. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance is obviously a more cautious and thoughtful man after his encounter with the Soviets in Moscow. The White House men like Hamilton Jordan and Jody Powell still stand aloof from Washington, suspicious of its protocols, staggered by its costs, confusion and hypocrisy.

But this indictment represents only a small, if commendable, first step in the necessary process of bringing the FBI officials responsible for illegal activities to a full and complete accounting of their actions. The investigation must continue unimpeded...
