...told the committee that the operation was especially useful because the Soviets did not realize it was going on. Angleton refused to retract a statement he had made earlier in closed session: "It is inconceivable that a secret-intelligence arm of the Government has to comply with all the overt orders of Government." Certainly Angleton had not done so. He conceded that it was an error to examine the mail of Nixon or a person of the stature of Church. "But from a counterintelligence point of view," he added, "it was vitally important to know everything possible about contacts between...

TIME correspondents in Boston did not have to use the helmets, but Chicago Bureau Chief Benjamin Gate, Correspondent Richard Woodbury and Photographer James De Free all encountered overt hostility in Louisville: when a group of angry citizens recognized Woodbury as a reporter, they tried to run his car off a back road with their pickup truck; De Free was the target of a bottle-throwing demonstrator...

After a meeting with President Kennedy and CIA Director John McCone, Vekemans had dinner with Vizzard in Washington and said with a grin: "I got $10 million-$5 million overt and $5 million covert." The first half was from the Agency for International Development, he explained, and the second half was from the CIA, largely to help Eduardo Frei beat Marxist Salvador Allende in the next presidential election. Vekemans, who has now shifted his base of operations to Bogota, refused...
