Good Morning! Sometime during your four years you will come up against this show, and now is the most painless time to do it. The hosts, John Willis and Janet Langhart are two facile, smiling zombies and perhaps their interview with Seymour Hersh, who reveals such people in the government, will reveal more about them. Ch. 5, 9 a.m. 1 hour...
...commission's decision reverses a May ruling by its chief administrative law judge, Seymour Wenner. He favored lowering first-class postage to 8½? while sharply raising rates by 122% for second class (newspapers, magazines) and 67.6% for fourth class (parcel post, records, books). Wenner's reasoning: first-class users were assuming more than their share of postal costs, "subsidizing" other classes and turning the Postal Service into a "tax collection agency, collecting money from first-class mailers to distribute to other favored classes...
...commission's investigation largely confirmed allegations-made initially by New York Times Reporter Seymour Hersh-that the CIA had conducted a "massive" domestic intelligence operation in the U.S. during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The commission did not use the word massive, perhaps because CIA Director William Colby and his predecessors had denied that there were illegal activities of that magnitude. Colby admitted only a relative handful of CIA abuses in a report to the Senate Armed Services Committee (TIME, Jan. 27). But the commission used other words, such as "considerable," "large-scale" and "substantial," that left...
...Rockefeller commission's report on the Central Intelligence Agency is something of a vindication for the New York Times, which broke the story of CIA domestic spying in an article last Dec. 22 by Investigative Reporter Seymour Hersh. Yet for months the Times sat on an even juicier part of the CIA story-President Ford's concern over the agency's alleged role in foreign assassination plots-but chose not to print it. Times editors last week were standing by their decision, but the episode underlined the hazards of giving and taking off-the-record information...
Ridiculous it may be, but journalists often find it essential to let their sources say things privately that they would never say otherwise. Some of these sources may try to entomb sensitive information by using the off-the-record stratagem, but the presidential luncheon episode seems to prove, as Seymour Hersh says, that such things do have a way of getting...
