Kennedy's willingness to take these risks, however, speaks well of his sincerity. After all, he could have let others--like Mark Hatfield, a tireless exponent of peace--speak out for the freeze resolution. But his presidential aspirations also make Kennedy's support for a freeze an act of opportunism. Ironically, this opportunism may damage the freeze movement in the long...
Brutus may pay for his outspokenness. A professor at Northwestern University in Evanston, III, since 1970 and a visiting professor at Amherst this year, he now faces deportation by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). After years of tireless activism, the man whom a defector from the South African secret police labelled as one of the 20 most effective opponents of the apartheid government may be cast back into the arms of his former oppressors. But this is not the first time he has come into conflict with government authorities...
EVEN IF HE FAILS to convince his readers of his historical importance, Ehrlichman could still achieve his second purpose: self exoneration for his role in the Watergate crisis.

Watson ordered his troops to wear white shirts and post the famous THINK signs in their offices. They worked hard to discover what products businesses wanted...

Nitze's fear that SALT II would leave the U.S. vulnerable to a surprise Soviet attack led him to become the Carter Administration's most visible, tireless and technically well-informed opponent in the debate over Senate ratification of the treaty. Yet while Nitze's reputation is hawkish, he has never called for a return to military superiority over the Soviet Union. "Perhaps brilliant is not the right word to describe his mind," says a veteran...
