...went to Camp David alone on a rainy night. His lone excursion into the public domain was to the deck of an aircraft carrier, safe from doubters. The biggest White House event of the week was the dinner on the South Lawn for the P.O.W.s, a reassuring evening of mutual tribute to the old days of courage...
Stone Wall. Even worse, the delegates could not agree on a name for the negotiations. The NATO powers proposed that it be called a conference for Mutual and Balanced Force Reductions (MBFR). That seemingly innocuous suggestion ran into a Soviet stone wall. Because East bloc nations have more troops and armor in Central Europe and even larger numbers near by, any "balanced" reduction would force a greater numerical cut upon them than upon Western nations. As a result, almost every meaningful word was slashed from the official communique of the first session, and the conference was blandly described...
What brought Cook's tenure to an ignominious end was his involvement in the SEC'S investigation of Financier Robert Vesco, whom the agency accuses of looting securities from the I.O.S. mutual-fund empire started by Bernard Cornfeld.

Vesco early in 1971 also gained control of International Overseas Services, the mutual-fund complex founded by Bernard Cornfeld that marketed its shares mostly to middle-income Europeans.

Last week's indictments specify the following...
...years since Robert Lee Vesco took control of Investors Overseas Services, the Geneva-based mutual fund empire created by Bernard Cornfeld, he has gone from virtual anonymity to worldwide notoriety. Last week he was indicted in the U.S. for conspiracy and obstruction of justice in connection with an unreported $200,000 donation he made to President Nixon's re-election campaign. Vesco, 37, is also the chief target of one of the largest security-fraud suits ever brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investigations of his activities have forced him to move his operations outside the regulatory...
