...also turned out that the CIA had provided the tools and disguises used in raiding the office of Ellsberg's former psychiatrist, and that approval of their use had come from General Robert Cushman, then deputy head of the CIA and now Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps. For years the American left had drawn a picture of the U.S. spied on by a sort of combined super CIA-FBI dominated by lawless and hidden money. Once dismissed as paranoid fantasies, such visions now acquired a touch of nightmarish truth...
...Pentagon Papers Defendants Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo was thrown out of court (see page 28), unnamed Justice Department officials said that Nixon twice in the past three weeks had tried to keep the department from informing Judge William Matthew Byrne Jr. that the office of Ellsberg's psychiatrist had been broken into by covert agents operating on orders from people in the White House. Nixon reluctantly agreed to pass along this information only after high Justice Department officials repeatedly advised him that the Los Angeles court had every right to know...
...improper, if not self-protective purposes. The revelation two weeks ago that two of the White House-Watergate covert agents, G. Gordon Liddy and E.

Valid Changes? All of these sensations-following the disclosures that the CIA had helped the Watergate raiders to break in to the offices of Ellsberg's former psychiatrist-took the trial far from its original purpose.

Was a charge of espionage valid when the defendants had given no information to a foreign power? (Ellsberg had returned the actual papers to the Rand Corp. files.) Could theft be alleged when the culprits had stolen nothing...
Walter (Timothy Bottoms) is the son of a Pulitzer-prizewinning historian. He is clumsy, insecure, racked by asthma. Dad tries to get him to go back to the psychiatrist ("You won't have to lie on the couch this time"), but Walter will have none of it. So he is dispatched on a summer-long bicycle trip through Spain, lagging badly behind the other collegiate types in the group. Walter pedals hard and wheezes ferociously, but finally chucks it all to join a guided tour conducted in the comfort and relative safety of an air-conditioned bus. There...
