We cannot help but wonder what the future holds for the freedoms inherent in the First Amendment when the government holds and exercises unbridled powers to detain, harass and jail newsmen, scholars and other law-abiding citizens of this country...
...Harassment. Directing the campaign for the Irish government is Justice Minister Desmond O'Malley, 33, a brash political fighter whose antipathy toward the I.R.A. was sharpened by the recent bombing of his father-in-law's pub just north of the border.

Segretti divulged to Justice Department officials only the bare outlines of his mission. He said that he was hired, among other things, to disrupt the primary campaigns of Democratic candidates. On one occasion, he said, he went to California to harass candidates with telephone calls and feed them false tipoffs. He also arranged to have embarrassing questions put to the Democrats at their public appearances. The Department of Justice learned that in 1971 Segretti asked a former Army officer friend to infiltrate the George Wallace campaign and work as an informant...
