...three bullets in his abdomen (he was later reported recovering). Copilot Moshe Heichel was hit in the hand. Over the plane's loudspeaker, passengers heard Captain Israel Ganot order, "Everybody down on the floor. Don't move. Keep quiet. God is with us." One who did not obey was Mordechai Rahamim, 22, an ex-paratrooper whom El Al preferred to call an armed passenger but who was evidently a hired security agent. Holding a .22-caliber Beretta automatic, he jumped from an emergency exit and ran toward the attackers, firing as he went...

...hearing concerned John Mitchell, Nixon's former law partner and now his Attorney General. The 55-year-old bond expert told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he would use electronic devices for "national security and against organized crime." Ramsey Clark, Mitchell's predecessor, had brusquely refused to obey a congressional directive to use wiretapping. Asked if he would mix politics with his work at the Justice Department, Mitchell answered that the 1968 campaign was "my first entry into politics, and I trust it will be my last...
