Nothing in the evidence indicates that Nixon knew in advance of the Fielding burglary, but he clearly created the mood of vengeance toward Ellsberg that led to it. He ordered Hoover to supply information on Ellsberg to Egil Krogh, the "plumber" who served 4½ months in prison after pleading guilty to violating Dr. Fielding's civil rights. Charles Colson, who has been sentenced to one-to-three years in prison for smearing Ellsberg, reported in a newly revealed affidavit: "The President from time to time expressed his dissatisfaction with the aggressiveness of the [Ellsberg] investigations ..." Moreover, in what apparently...
...Greece, racked by dictator governments since the 1967 revolt of the colonels, the mood was somber. After mobilization was ordered, a single car filled with young men waving a giant Greek flag slowly toured Athens' Constitution Square. But there were few other patriotic demonstrations. Banks closed as they have before each recent domestic political crisis. Traffic jams occurred as Greeks left their jobs early to stock up on foodstuffs.

Wherever he went, Trudeau's opening lines pointed out what a waste of everyone's time the campaign was. The message left the impression of a leader who wanted only...
...Italians basked in their first hot summer weather last week, they were in an "If this is Tuesday, it must be Tuscany" mood that had nothing to do with the country's annual swarm of tourists. In Tuscany, the Piedmont and Sicily, Italy's three giant labor federations called carefully orchestrated half-day work stoppages to protest government fiscal policy. Each day the protests occurred in a different region. In Turin, 25,000 auto workers poured into Piazza San Carlo for a noisy protest. Then in Florence, 40,000 mounted a parade. In Sicily, in turn, peasant farmers...
