...lost his job as Minister of the Interior. He had been Defense Minister in 1970, when the Italian government bought 14 C-130 transports from Lockheed for $60 million despite protests from opposition politicians that Italian-made planes were just as effective and cost less. Now a Lockheed memo, made public by the Church subcommittee, discloses that in 1970 the company paid $2.2 million to Italian agents, who passed on "more than 85%" of it to government officials.

Moynihan still bristles at what he regards as widespread misinterpretation of that phrase. It did not, he insists, refer to less Government attention to civil rights, but to a need for more care...

It emphasizes that if he does decide to run, Humphrey must get into at least a few big-state primaries to be nominated. Some 75% of the convention delegates will be selected in the primaries this year, and Mondale argues that Humphrey would have to start raising money and building an organization by late February.
