...Really! Devoting almost an entire page to John Sparrow's TIME-honored but otherwise discredited defense of the Warren Commission Report [Dec. 22]. When I lectured at Oxford, Sparrow refused to debate with me, stating that he was unqualified to defend the commission despite his many efforts along these lines. When I completed my two-hour talk, I asked him if there was anything to which he could take exception and he said, quite publicly, that there was not. He then remained silent for more than a year. Now he has again repeated his "conclusions" in support...
Falling Sparrows. Unlike Ike, who set up military lines of command and delegated considerable responsibility, Johnson wants to be in on everything. His night reading, often a five-inch-thick stack of memos and cables, covers everything from the latest CIA intelligence roundup to a gossipy report on a feud between two Senators. Not a sparrow falls, says a former aide, that he doesn't know about...
...Rebel Report. From his first day in office three years ago, Frei has been hounded in Congress by a coalition of Communists, leftists and Socialists that has blocked almost all of his major reform legislation. Now the far left is making a determined grab for the reins of his own Christian Democratic Party. Six months ago, a rebel faction led by Jacques Chonchol, Frei's director of agricultural development, managed to ram through a party resolution permitting Castro's chief subversion agency in the Hemisphere, OLAS, to set up a branch office right in Santiago...
...same time, Chonchol's group quietly won control of the party's executive council, and began joining the opposition in criticizing Frei. When Frei asked the party for a routine analysis of its future course, Chonchol prepared a 57,000-word report that read almost like the Communist Manifesto. It recommended tight government control of economic and industrial activities, nationalization of all banks, insurance companies, electric power corporations, and communications companies as well as a far-reaching agrarian reform law that would do away with all large landowners. Embarrassed by the report, Frei tried to shrug...
...nation's most distinguished chemists. A professor emeritus at Harvard, he has won a number of national awards for his research into the chemical causes of cancer, and was a member of the U.S. Surgeon General's committee that issued the 1964 report linking cigarette smoke with the disease. Fieser was also a pioneer in developing laboratory production of vitamin K, the body's blood-clotting agent, and antimalarial drugs. Despite these impressive credentials of service to mankind, he has lately received a number of angry letters. Reason: back in 1943, Fieser invented napalm...
