...personal investigation into the Nixon Administration's snooping on political enemies. Last week he demonstrated that the scope of those activities was far broader than had been previously known. At hearings conducted jointly by three Senate subcommittees into Government invasion of privacy, the Connecticut Republican made public a sheaf of White House memorandums, which he said "display Government at its most efficient philosophically and at its scariest" to individuals.

...agreeing to a negotiated plea, the Government would commonly file away forever the sheaf of evidence amassed against a defendant for possible trial purposes.

When he left Commerce last year, he began calling them in, advising businessmen to make large cash or stock contributions to the campaign. They could do that secretly, he noted, by making their gifts before a tough campaign-fund disclosure law took effect in April 1972. Stans' efforts got C.R.P. into...
Meanwhile, Anderson returned to the attack. Last week he flaunted a sheaf of stolen ITT documents. On the basis of these, he charges that some ITT staffers and U.S. Government personnel plotted to prevent Salvador Allende, a Marxist, from taking office as President of Chile (see box, page...
