...were whipped up by an anonymous telephone call four days later to one of William Fulbright's Foreign Relations Committee staffers. The caller urged the committee to investigate the reason why Columbia University Physicist Richard Garwin and several other nuclear-weapons experts had been sent recently on a secret mission to Viet Nam. Hence Fulbright's letter to Rusk-who brusquely denied that the Garwin mission had anything to do with nuclear weapons...
...face-off with the President, McCarthy complained that Johnson's pledge-card campaign (TIME, Feb. 9) was tantamount to a denial of the right to a secret ballot and likened it to branding cattle in Texas. At week's end, Robert Kennedy's unauthorized New Hampshire committee said it would heed the New York Senator's pleas to drop its write-in campaign, and most members announced that they would transfer their backing to McCarthy. Even so, there was every indication that McCarthy's drive to check L.B.J. was still moving on perilously thin...

...power comes in part from a pair of peculiar structural strengths. Members like to think that the group is effective because its meetings are closed. Secret meetings, they say, keep splits within the group private and allow the HPC to avoid the abrupt and confused policy switches which have plagued the HUC. The HPC has no pretense of being a representative body. Its members aren't elected--they are appointed by house masters; and so the group includes a number of shrewd people who might never enter, much less win, a house committee election. They command respect and push...
