...says the CIA. About a year ago, the agency decided to limit its work in Viet Nam to intelligence monitoring, and handed over active spying operations to the Green Berets. In mid-June, however, as the CIA tells it, the Green Berets came to the CIA for advice on what to do with a Vietnamese -whom they did not then identify-suspected of being a double agent. The CIA claims that it said that it could do nothing to help, but strongly urged the Green Berets not to kill the man. The agency repeated the advice after learning the agent...

Most cannot afford the time; unlike the ordinary Congressman, with his Tuesday-Thursday work week, congressional leaders put in long hours on the Hill and are grateful for a little solitude. Mike Mansfield is an example. "He leaves for the Senate at 6:30 every morning, and he stays till he puts the cat out," says his wife.

The daughter of a Greensboro, N.C., dentist, she attended Centenary College in Hackettstown, N.J., and later Miami University of Ohio. She went to Washington to work for Robert Kennedy in 1967. Her co-workers in the Kennedy mail room remember her as lively and exceptionally competent. She now works for New York's Representative Allard Lowenstein, one of the architects of the 1968 "Dump Johnson" movement...
