Revelations. Still the most vocal of the Democrats was the man who touched off the controversy, House Majority Leader Hale Boggs of Louisiana.

On the House floor he insisted during an impassioned, hour-long speech that his contention was true and went on to intimate that electronic surveillance devices may have been used against other Administration critics, among them former Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon, Republican Senator Charles Percy of Illinois and Democrat Birch Bayh of Indiana...

Edgar Hoover and the FBI, 1971 just might be the year that historians will write mark...

Lick Observatory reflector atop Mount Hamilton, which is rapidly being swamped by the incandescence of the San Francisco Bay Area's expanding cities and towns. Even the 200-in. Hale mirror on Mount Palomar-the world's largest telescope-may be seriously imperiled before the decade's end by the increasing glare of San Diego and Los Angeles...
