...ready to radio their chief, Canada's Major General Eedson L. M. Burns, in case of trouble. Their cars have been burned and stoned. They have come under fire that they swear was not accidental. They have been ignored. When the Israelis staged their big El Auja raid last year, they first locked up the whole U.N. Egyptian-border team at their Beersheba headquarters. But it is from the observers' reports that General Burns has been able to judge and warn against incidents in which governments themselves might be involved and responsible. To a man, they believe that...
...table. Sturdy Fess (Davy Crockett) Parker trades in his coonskin cap for a felt hat as the federal spy; Jeffrey Hunter is the picture of keen-eyed implacability as the pursuing conductor; and a large group of native Georgians adequately re-create their Civil War ancestors. Since the raid involved a minimum of hand-to-hand fighting, Disney partially supplied the lack with a skull-bashing brawl during a jailbreak after the spies were captured. Disney also softened the story's grim ending by replacing the mass execution with speeches about brotherhood by Parker and Hunter-speeches that contain...
...government stayed mum. Then London's weekly Observer interviewed Reporter Gerard for two pro-Algerian columns. Said she: "I felt I was watching the birth of a nation.

At one point her interrogator demanded: "Where does liberalism end and treason begin?" Then she was charged with "attack against the external security of the state and the integrity of the territory" and put in jail to await...
...Langley sent official raiders, accompanied by Journal reporters (but no Oregonian staffers) to the home of an ex-policeman named Raymond F. Clark, who had made the tapes for Racketeer Elkins. They found some 30 more tapes, made at Elkins' bidding. The Journal splashed the story of the raid on its front page; the Oregonian buried it in the sports section. Last week, at Langley's urging, the county grand jury delivered its first indictments in the case. To the Journal's glee, the jury indicted the Oregonian's major sources, Elkins and Snooper Clark...
Navy Secretary Francis ("Rowboat") Matthews was furious when he learned about Burke's Op-23. He ordered Navy inspectors to raid Burke's offices. They descended late one afternoon and held Burke and his staff incommunicado all night while they searched through the files for secret papers (they found none). A few weeks later, Matthews drew a red line through Burke's name on a list of promotions to rear admiral; it was back on the next list after a press outcry and the personal intervention of Admiral Forrest Sherman, the new Chief of Naval Operations, with...
