Surely the late, great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose credo was peace, love and nonviolence, would be appalled to see his disciples involved in discussion with an organization that espouses wanton violence as its modus operandi. Its covenant openly calls for Israel's destruction, and yet this is the group with which Israel is being pressured to deal. Israel has never rejected dialogue with Palestinians, but those who openly oppose the P.L.O. are assassinated.

Washington skeptics noted that he was up for re-election and that he had many anti-Castro exiles among his constituents. As late as July 27, the State Department appeared to deny to Stone the very existence of the brigade.

When his division was fused with the psychological section in 1976--and the MHS was conceived--Walters was appointed chief of the new division. In the late 1960s, Walters taught a General Education course which covered the topics of drugs and adolescent development.
