Battle by Leak. Some of Hilsman's criticisms of the policymaking process are illuminating, such as his discussion of leaks, the "first and most blatant signs of battle" within the Government. He recounts how the crucial struggle over the 1957 Gaither Report on civil defense turned on whether to print 200 secret copies of the report or only two. Proponents of the report figured that if President Eisenhower rejected the findings, one of the 200 "secret" copies would surely be leaked to the press, carrying the battle to the public. They were correct: the larger printing was made...
...capital, attackers go to great lengths to mask their ambush. While Pennzoil planned its takeover of United Gas Corp. a year and a half ago, says Pennzoil Financial Vice President J. H. Young, "my own secretary didn't know what was going on. If there had been any leak, the price of United's stock would have gone so high that we might not have wanted to monkey with it." Even the board of directors was kept in the dark...
Still smarting from last year, when an oil leak forced him out of the race on the 27th lap, Andretti watched Gurney break his record, cracked: "It's nice to have something to shoot at"-and tramped on the throttle of his 500-h.p.

...pontifical commission on birth control submitted its findings to Pope Paul VI last year when word was passed that most of the commission's members had recommended abolishing the Roman Catholic Church's ban on contraception. Most people took it for granted that the news leak was an effort to pressure the Pope into siding with the majority-and soon. But the pressure seems to have had no noticeable effect; Paul has still to announce his long-awaited decision. Last week, in what was viewed as another evident attempt to hasten a liberal papal ruling, the National Catholic...
Whether the news leak would move the Pope to action was doubtful. In Rome, Vatican officials announced that Pope Paul still had no intention of being hurried into making a ruling. In fact, said one prominent Vatican priest, the latest leak might well turn out to be controproducente (counterproductive): it might encourage Paul to ponder the issue even longer...
