...confidential matter. Even Democratic National Chairman Lawrence O'Brien thought so, and he should know better. Two weeks ago, O'Brien, who was John Kennedy's congressional liaison, and Mortimer M. Caplin, J.F.K.'s Commissioner of Internal Revenue, piously deplored White House Investigator Clark Mollenhoff's seemingly unlimited access to individual tax returns. Illegal, huffed O'Brien. Unless President Nixon withdraws Mollenhoff's snooping privileges, they warned, "We are prepared to initiate legal action...
...Mollenhoff Cocktail. Some of Nixon's men are emerging at last as fairly colorful in their business hours as well. White House Aide Clark Mollenhoff's attack on opponents of Judge Clement Haynsworth on a Washington television program was so vehement that it caused one of the participants to threaten a libel action. Mollenhoff's repeated fulminations led to a Washington jape about the "Mollenhoff Cocktail-you throw it and it backfires."

The Haynsworth question is especially vexing to Nixon right now, since he faces almost certain defeat when the nomination comes to a vote in the Senate this week. In each of these controversies, Mollenhoff contended, newspapers, magazines and television news reports have "distorted" the facts and failed to give...
Reporters who fought his candidacy now ask with only faint smiles if their income taxes will be checked. Past Mollenhoff victims wonder if rekindled attacks will be forthcoming. A friendly, bearish man off the beat. Mollenhoff is unremitting in his efforts to scourge those who do not meet his standards. Once asked when he would cease hounding a man. Mollenhoff replied, "When he drops." By the time he joined the White House, many were already weary of his zealotry. But with his new powers, Mollenhoff, 48, is a still fiercer hunter. There is even a rumor making the rounds that...
