...solved for lack of proof, and a resigned feeling that the incident was not important enough to merit the attention of the police. The job before big-city police departments is plain enough: to convince the public that reporting crimes is necessary and worthwhile-and that one of the policeman's responsibilities is to establish proof...
...White House gumshoe, Anthony Ulasewicz, a former New York City policeman, conducted 54 investigations for the Administration, some seemingly legitimate but others highly questionable. For example, according to a cryptic memo, he investigated allegations that the President's nephew, Donald A. Nixon, had been "involved in improper conduct, that drugs were involved, and love-making groups at Three Forks, Sierra Madre. Also concern of bribery."

Some old SDSers now say they think he must have been an undercover policeman, because, they say, whenever a meeting was going well he would disrupt it. It's hard to imagine Collins drawing followers or contributions or for that matter "Fuck Authority" on Inkeles's blackboard in any spring but 1969's. For awhile, he'd challenged Disraeli's dictum that great revolutions aren't lightly begun, but he passed into Strike folklore and then...
