...Mitchell conceded that he had met with ITT President Harold Geneen for 35 minutes on Aug. 4, 1970, at Geneen's request. "I assented to the meeting," Mitchell said, "on the express condition that the pending ITT litigation would not be discussed." According to Mitchell, Geneen argued that the Justice Department was prosecuting corporations merely for their "bigness." Mitchell claimed that the discussion was "entirely theoretical," yet at the time it was held, the antitrust division had only four "bigness" cases pending; three were against ITT. Mitchell also declared that twice last April he had met with ITT Director...
...ahead. Will Wilson, a former Assistant Attorney General in charge of the criminal division, was to write a formal letter instructing investigators to get a court order for the proposed eavesdrop. But many of Wilson's letters were actually signed by two of his aides, Henry Petersen and Harold Shapiro. Both Mitchell and Wilson permitted aides to sign for them, despite the legal requirement that Mitchell or a designated assistant personally review each bugging application. The practice went on until James Hogan, a defense lawyer in the Miami case, noticed the irregularity. Said Hogan: "When I examined the various...
Upon returning to Westminster from a visit to Dublin, British Labor Leader Harold Wilson warned Prime Minister Edward Heath that any further holdup in announcing his long-delayed settlement proposals for Northern Ireland would probably lead to open civil war.

Then a step...
SEVERAL years ago, Harold Geneen complained about the image of the company that he heads: "You can stop 15 people in the street and not one will know what ITT is. That bothers me." Geneen hardly has that worry today. ITT is a household name. Everybody who reads the headlines knows that the International Telephone and Telegraph Corp. is the multibillion-dollar firm that quietly agreed to put up at least $100,000 to help finance this year's Republican National Convention, and shortly thereafter negotiated a controversial settlement in a classic antitrust case. But Geneen's interests...
...HAROLD SCOTTS production of Indians is a well-crafted piece of theatre scaled down in script and staging from the unwieldly Broadway version. The staging, and Franco Colavecchia's compact Wild West show focus the action of the play neatly. The play opens with dance, performed in silence by eight Indians, who disperse when Buffalo Bill rides onstage. The Indians are dimly lit; Buffalo Bill gets two bright follow spots and an accompaniment of carnival music. Douglas Nielson's Bill is flexible, almost always on top of his part, whether it calls for theatrics or remorse. Bernard Holmberg's Sitting...
