...conventions, primaries or full slate of candidates. The committee's key staffers are youthful veterans of McCarthy's 1968 presidential bid; they share his mistrust of the party system and hope to lure independent voters to their cause. Party or not, the organization will give the quixotic Mc Carthy a political platform-if it can raise enough money. So far the committee has a mere $30,000, half from Detroit Lions President (and 1968 McCarthy backer) William Clay Ford. If the committee nominates McCarthy, he will be a "deadly serious" candidate, he promised, though he has happily never...
Hard Work. It was only in March 1973 that Watergate Burglar James Mc-Cord confirmed much of Woodward and Bernstein's reporting, when he implied to Judge Sirica in his celebrated letter that the case had wider ramifications. Up till then, other publications?with the exception of TIME and the New York Times?had been slow to respond to the Post team's lead, perhaps because neither reporter enjoyed national prestige.

Such earnest digging has also borne fruit in CHNS local stories. Matthews filed an item for papers in Pennsylvania revealing that a reporter for the Scranton Tribune also earned $5,000 a year as a "public relations assistant" to Pennsylvania Representative Joseph Mc-Dade. The Tribune accepted its employee's moonlighting calmly, but McDade sniped that the CHNS disclosure was "the worst story I've seen in ten years...
...agency of the Treasury Department, the Secret Service was actually founded in 1865 to chase down counterfeiters, an activity it still pursues, but since the assassination of William Mc-Kinley in 1901 the Service has also been responsible for protecting the President. The agents assigned to the White House (average annual salary: $17,000) suffer through long periods of boredom when the President is not on display. But when he goes on a trip, whether to San Clemente or Peking, they work under acute tension, always braced, like sprinters on their starting blocks, for the sound of a shot...
