...National Student Association revealed late yesterday that it has been subsidized since the early 1950's by the Central Intelligence Agency. NSA president Eugene Groves said that the group has been struggling for two years to break the "covert relationship" and would no longer accept CIA money. The CIA first offered the money, he said, because it wanted to counter Communist-sponsored youth activities...
Perhaps Christina Stead's latest book should not be reviewed, but exorcised. It purports to be a novel of British working-class life, but its overt socialist propaganda and its covert hints of dark doings in sex and some sort of spiritualism make it the queerest mixture of the publishing season-a marriage of those diverse London oddballs, Karl Marx and Joanna Southcott, the hysteric cultist who died in 1814 after announcing that she would give birth to a second Prince of Peace...
...describe Floyd McKissick, national director of CORE, as "winner in a covert internal coup that ousted longtime CORE Leader James Farmer" [June 10]. There was no coup, covert or overt, internal or external. There was no "ousting." My resignation was of my own volition.

At my request CORE set up a committee...

Winner in a covert internal coup that ousted longtime CORE Leader James Farmer last winter, McKissick, 44, has lately steered his civil rights outfit, a leader in the movement in the '60s, away from gradual integration toward aggressive Desegregation Now. Almost all white members and most Negro moderates have either resigned or been nudged out of national policymaking positions. Opposition to the war in Viet Nam has reached a hysteria, and CORE leaders have come close to damning any cooperation with whites-as McKissick did during his meeting with the two Baltimore officials...
China-watching has become the indispensable underpinning for the evolution of U.S. policy. To get the material they need to form realistic analyses, both Government and academic experts tap numerous and diverse sources, covert and overt. The U.S. maintains its largest consulate in Hong Kong, where a corps of translators collects and analyzes an endless stream of Chinese periodicals, some smuggled out from remote provinces. The compulsive outpourings of Radio Peking and other internal radio stations are monitored by a string of sophisticated snooping devices on China's perimeter. Drone planes, high-flying U-2s and satellite cameras record...
