...Odell seldom relates specific incidents from his CIA career, but the shadowy references that come out in his conversation are just as revealing. When talking about the agency or its operations, Odell emphasizes its omnipresence. Although hesitant to discuss domestic CIA operations, he does admit that he "was extensively involved" with the "mail-intercept" program. Pausing slightly, he adds that the CIA gave the Senate Intelligence Committee some documents dealing with that program that were "without question falsified." Odell also charges that the CIA aided the Washington, D.C. police in quelling anti-war demonstrations during...
...ones who make decisions in Government and those that have been blessed with influence-I think they very seldom suffer when the Government makes a mistake. I want to make sure that we get away from that, and I believe that the powerful are eager to see that done as well. It is not a deliberate thing: that the big-shot crooks go free-they never go to jail-and that the average American who violates a law has a much greater chance of going to jail. That's not right.

It is seldom we read a forthright, dispassionate summary of our foreign policy, how it has evolved historically, and where we stand today in the eyes of the world...
Rabin and Peres are both masters of upmanship. A leader of Israel's elite Palmach commandos in 1948 and a hero of the 1967 war, Rabin seldom loses a chance to one-up his Defense Minister on military matters. During briefings by Peres (who never served in uniform), Rabin has been known to swivel impatiently in his chair, scowl and then ignore his minister by shooting questions directly at uniformed generals present. Complains a Peres aide: "Right from the start, Rabin was out to humiliate Peres in any way he could...
