...that the possibility was raised-with warnings that the subject was secret. Yet last week Washington Senator Henry ("Scoop") Jackson, who was not present at the committee meeting, spoke on national television of "huge new missiles" possessed by the Russians. Symington contended that the Administration had told Jackson, a hawkish Democrat and a champion of weapons development (see box), to "put it out." Jackson denied the charge...
Teller has worked at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Livermore, Calif, since 1952. He is known for his hawkish views on weapons development, including the ABM. And he is known for his ability to put down questioners, other scientists, youth, doves-in short, anyone he disagrees with-in a booming, angry voice and thick Hungarian accent undimmed by 25 years of U.

...caucus the authority to choose a chairman (or for the minority party, the ranking member) from that party's three most senior members on a committee. Even such a limited change might have dramatic impact.

Amid the lavish Orientalia of Anna Chennault's penthouse at Watergate, the talk is hearty, hawkish and very Republican indeed. Mrs. Chennault, the petite Chinese-born widow of General Claire Chennault of the World War II Flying Tigers, was a major money raiser for Nixon's 1968 campaign, and the hard core of her guest list includes some of the top members of the Administration. Her parties are also frequently attended by visitors from Asia, where her connections are said to be excellent?particularly in Saigon. Just before Nixon's election, in fact, she was accused of trying to sabotage...
