Perhaps the defense is at last catching up to the offense. The age of data banks and Xerox machines and tapes leaves many more telltale spoors: the Justice Department's budget has tripled since Nixon took of fice; 2,000 employees have been added to the FBI payroll; strike forces against organized crime are rinding a happy hunting ground in Brooklyn, Newark, Boston, Chicago and New Orleans...
