...coming weeks and months, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara can expect to find in his mail a steady stream of letters from TIME readers around the world, and a considerable number of them will send along this week's cover requesting his autograph. This has long been the experience of TIME cover subjects, who find the number of autograph seekers growing. United Nations Ambassador Adlai Stevenson (Dec. 14) has already sent off a stack of autographed covers to such countries as Iran, West Germany, India and France, as well as to places all across...

Again, this is not a justification of Hoffa, but simply serves to reiterate the question: why Hoffa...
...broader issues of government-labor relations. In fact, policy is being obscured by personality and justice couched in vindictive terms. If the anti-Hoffa campaign is not admirable, it is also not effective. Nor will it gain much meaning if and when the Teamster leader is jailed for mail fraud...
