...hidden "bugs"--to gather evidence to fight crime and protect the national security. Last summer the Supreme Court nullified a tax evasion conviction on the grounds that evidence used was obtained illegally. Throughout the summer and early fall, there were strident cries for statutory limitations on such activities--with particular reference to those carried out by the F.B.I. And last weekend, F.B.I. director J. Edgar Hoover and his former boss, ex-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, accused each other of being responsible for the buggings from...

What makes Scandinavia unique, he declares, is that its social benefits have accumulated slowly over almost a century, with no particular impetus in the past three decades. He argues that it is wrong to describe Scandinavia as socialistic. In Sweden, which dominates the Scandinavian busi ness scene, less than 6% of industry is nationalized; the base on which most Scandinavian industry flourishes is still private enterprise...
