UNDISPUTED FACTS. Some $420,000, taken mainly from Nixon campaign contributions, was distributed covertly to the seven Watergate defendants, their families and lawyers. The deliverymen used telephone booths, storage lockers and other public sites as drops so that the recipients would never see them. One source of money was a $350,000 White House cash fund that had been controlled by Haldeman. Roughly half of the money was transmitted by Kalmbach, the other half by LaRue. Dean helped arrange and direct these payments...
...Cubans, dressed in deliverymen's uniforms, entered Fielding's office building on the night of Sept. 4, while Hunt watched the doctor's home and Liddy maintained walkie-talkie contact with the Cubans from a cruising car. The Cubans carried a suitcase with air-express invoices addressed to Dr. Fielding, and thus persuaded a cleaning lady to admit them to Fielding's office. They left the suitcase, containing a CIA camera, then punched the "unlock" button on the office door before leaving. When they returned later, they found the door relocked and had to break in. The operation fizzled, however...
...Pierre Laporte, 49, Quebec's Labor Minister. He had been shot in the head. Still missing was James Cross, 49, British Trade Commissioner in Montreal.

When the government firmly refused to meet the terrorists' terms, the F.L.Q. responded by grabbing Laporte from the lawn...

Particularly in Texas, Mexican Americans sometimes get less pay than others for the same work. Even the few who have some education do not escape discrimination. Chicano women find that jobs as public contacts at airline ticket counters are rarely open; they are welcome as switchboard operators out of the public eye. Mexican-American men who work in banks are assigned to the less fashionable branches. Promotions come slowly, responsibility hardly ever...
...watchdogs was unprecedented. One ad to sell three German shepherds brought 75 phone calls in two hours. Newspapers have run police-prepared instructions on how women should defend themselves by biting, kicking, screaming or scratching. A grocery chain imported 100,000 plastic whistles to give to its customers. Deliverymen have set up complex systems of passwords with hundreds of housewives who feel as if they are under siege...
