...UNEXPECTED RELEASE from jail last week of Samuel L. Popkin lecturer in Government, and the disbanding of the Boston grand jury investigating the Pentagon Papers leak, ended a protracted pressure campaign by government officials who sought as yet undetermined information about Popkin's connection with Daniel Ellsberg '52 and other persons...
