Steele began his public salvo against the Coop when he was thwarted in his election bid. His name was kept off the ballot for lack of sufficient signatures; he claimed that the Coop went out of its way to invalidate a large percentage of his signatures. Battling the Coop head-on, Steele sued to have last spring's director election invalidated. Although the Coop finally won the case this spring, the publicity arising from the litigation did little to improve the store's image...
Herbert may have retired from the Army, but not from battle. Soldier is simply a salvo in a continuing campaign to clear his own name and work revenge upon the Army.

In what appears to be part of a conscious design to show himself to be forthright, he publicly endorsed last weekend's antiwar rally in Washington. Earlier he fired a formidable salvo at the FBI, accusing the G-men of conducting widespread surveillance of last year's Earth Day demonstrations against pollution. "If antipollution rallies are a subject of intelligence concern," Muskie asked, "is anything immune?" (In fact, the Department of Justice insists that the FBI sent agents to only four Earth...
