...Marine lieutenant who, before he quit the intelligence agency, not only was a CIA agent for twelve years but served as the "case officer" in charge of the Angolan venture. Stockwell's book, In Search of Enemies, is a narrative of IAFEATURE'S short, six-month history.

Bouncing out of a Strasbourg hotel at 10 a.m. last week, he shouted to his aides, "Mount your horses!", climbed into a steel-gray Peugeot and led a 15-car caravan on the last leg of what has been a six-month, 30,000-mile-long barnstorming-style campaign all around France. Arriving at 10:30 in the town of Neudorf, he started pumping hands right away and was soon off on a day-long dash that took him to 15 campaign events within a 50-mile radius. In Neudorf...
