Word of the lunch eventually got to CBS Newsman Daniel Schorr, who on Feb. 28 reported the President's concern about CIA assassination plots. Schorr's report stirred a mild sensation, and former CIA Director Richard Helms denounced the reporter as "Killer Schorr! Killer Schorr!" But by then the Rockefeller commission was well into its investigation, and its final report pleads -not too convincingly-that there was not enough time to examine the subject fully.

Newsman Hibbs earned a reputation as "the most quoted young squirt in Kansas" by age 27.
