...double agents by U.S. forces would have been pictured as commonplace. CIA's disputed role in the case would have been dissected, and agents in the field might possibly have been compromised. "If there had been a trial," said Bailey, "the defendants would have become Abrams, [CIA Director Richard] Helms and Nixon. The only winner would have been North Viet...
...doubts that Kennedy's national stature remains much diminished. A Gallup poll showed him running behind Maine's Edmund Muskie and former Vice President Hubert Humphrey against Richard Nixon. The traditional Kennedy constituency-made up of the young, women, blacks-were especially disillusioned. His once unassailable power in Massachusetts has continued to slide, though Bay State Republicans probably have no hope of defeating him next year.

The defendants, who throw kisses at the jury, call the judge a "racist," and fully expect to go to jail, insist that their proper jury is "the peoples of the world." The setting is Richard Daley's Chicago, hungry for vindication but now targeted for the same sort of demonstrations that disrupted the Democratic Convention...

Among leaders now active, they approve of McCarthy, Senator Edmund Muskie, Cleveland Mayor Carl Stokes, Eldridge Cleaver and-of all people-Richard Nixon. Apparently convinced that he is sincerely trying to end the war and reform the draft, two out of three freshmen expressed respect for the President. But given the capacity of small student minorities to disrupt campuses and bedevil presidents, that vote of confidence in Nixon is unlikely to cause...
