For the time being, at least, Ray has no plans to try to thwart Magnuson's ploy, but the issue...
...cover story was written by Senior Writer Ed Magnuson, with accompanying pieces by Associate Editors James Atwater and Frank Merrick. For Magnuson, who wrote much of our Watergate coverage, it was not a welcome task. "Any comparison between Bert Lance's troubles and the enormity of Watergate is ridiculous," he says.
