...only people who ran into trouble, in fact, were Agents Daley and Dennis. The Justice Department in 1974 indicted Informer Hall on a charge of possessing stolen Treasury bonds, and threatened to indict the IRS agents as co-conspirators-though they protested that they had only been asked by Hall to check the serial numbers on the bonds. The agents composed a memo pointing out that the IRS and the Department of Justice had failed to inform the Senate Watergate committee of their reports about Fitzsimmons' account of his alleged meeting with Nixon.

...takes up Bic or hovers over the Smith-Corona, while the inner voice, heaving between aggressiveness and trepidation, murmurs with all the subtle power of an orator on trial. But no one is there.

The Polish workers have given the Communist Manifesto's "Workers of the world, unite!" a dimension of irony that the Politburo over in Moscow is incapable of savoring. Communism is supposed to be the solution; the Poles say it is part...
...immunity was retroactive, thus shielding all their client's confessions from use by the Justice Department. Says Hartman: "It's a very sad day when the state takes a man, uses him to the hilt, and then the Feds come in and react to political pressure and indict him. We feel Veverka has been betrayed by the judicial system." Veverka thinks the message to police elsewhere will be clear: if you are tempted to come forward with the truth in a misconduct case...
