...case against Connally, however, does not rest on Jacobsen's testimony alone. Other witnesses have been lined up. Last week Harold Nelson, former general manager of Associated Milk Producers, Inc., the nation's largest milk cooperative, pleaded guilty to a charge that he had conspired to bribe Connally. In the information filed against Nelson, several other officials of milk co operatives were named as unindicted coconspirators. Some are likely to testify against Connally under immunity...
...city, state or federal control. With his uncanny ability as a drafter of legislation, Moses tricked mayors and governors into giving him power on a scale they never intended to and making sure that they couldn't take it away. In the end, it took the extraordinary coincidence that Nelson Rockefeller was governor of New York and his brother David controlled the Chase Manhattan Bank, which was the trustee of the Triborough bondholders, to make him vulnerable.

Guido Calabresi, 41, professor at the Yale Law School, is tagged by his peers as Supreme Court or World Court material. A former Rhodes scholar and top-ranking Yale law graduate, Calabresi has frequently advised the U.S. Department of Transportation and various state agencies and is a member of Nelson Rockefeller's Commission on Critical Choices. He has recently been concentrating on an examination of modern technology and its effects; in 1970 he wrote The Cost of Accidents, a study that served as a prime source of data for the designers of the national no-fault insurance bill...
