...enthusiasm among G.O.P. professionals, despite his preeminence in the popularity polls. "A lot of us out here simply aren't convinced that Romney is the chosen moderate to lead the party in 1968," said Washington's Governor Daniel Evans. Oregon's Tom McCall, who makes no secret of his admiration for Rockefeller, asked: "What the dickens has happened to Romney's campaign? At the moment, it's lying dead in the water...
Last week, after a seven-day secret investigation, a Navy court of inquiry offered only fragmentary answers. Its summary pointed out that "U.S.S. Liberty was in international waters, properly marked as to her identity." A 5-ft. by 8-ft. U.S. flag flew at the masthead, must surely have been seen by three separate Israeli planes that surveyed the ship during the morning. Her name was lettered on the stern in English, which could hardly have been confused with the Arabic script on Egyptian ships. "The court produced evidence that the Israeli armed forces had ample opportunity to identify Liberty...
Then, too, everyone-except Jim Garrison-could see the case closing in on the 6-ft. 6-in. district attorney. The press and TV continued to dismantle his imagined maze of Machiavellianism: secret codes that supposedly led to Ruby's telephone number, the elusive and probably fictional "Clay Bertrand," the Cuban intrigue. In New Orleans, where the ambitious D.A. is widely feared and conspiratorial theories are as highly relished as crayfish bisque, the Crime Commission demanded a sweeping state inquiry into Garrison's office...
...papers. One of their most spectacular--and successful--sallies occurred in November, 1936. At that time Trotsky was under house arrest in Norway, but many of the papers were hidden in a Paris apartment, supposedly out of the reach of Stalin. Nevertheless, agents of the G.P.U. (Russia's secret police at that time) located the apartment, perhaps with the aid of an agent provacateur, and they occupied the adjacent room. Then, with a torch, they cut through the intervening wall and made off with the papers...
...part of one day each week working on the archives. The open section is now divided into three units: the Soviet Correspondence, the Works, and the Ephemera. Much of the collection consists of letters--for example, a letter from Lenin to Trotsky dated December 13, 1918, marked "Urgent--Top Secret." The letter deals with military affairs. In addition to the letters and the manuscripts of many of his books, there are also clippings from dozens of newspapers in several languages, often with a sentence or paragraph underlined by Trotsky in red, or perhaps a few words in Russian written...
