...Presidential aides were involved in moving Hunt from his White House job as a $ 100-a-day consultant on a narcotics-control program to a post with President Nixon's re-election committee. The FBI files contain a report of a memo dated March 30, 1972 from White House Aide W. Richard Howard to White House Aide Bruce Kehrli. The report described Hunt as "very effective for us" and sought to shift him to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President. The Watergate-trial evidence showed that while Hunt was working with the committee he was also...
...Memo to the principal: Do not be alarmed if your teachers walk up stairs with toes pointed in, then down again with toes pointed out. Or if they break into deep knee bends at the blackboard. Or if, standing in the lunchroom, they tighten first their feet, then their lower legs, thighs, buttocks and abdominal muscles...
...Budget. In a somber December message to employees-the second such Yuletide memo in two years-Sulzberger outlined the paper's major problems. The exodus of middle-class families to the suburbs continues to demand an expensive transition from newsstand to home-delivery service. In town, the number of newsstands has dropped, from 10,632 ten years ago to 8,052 today.

...Sulzberger memo also acknowledged, but did not spell out, problems "of our own making." For decades the Times was run like a cozy family affair. The opportunity to acquire a TV station was ignored 25 years ago. Staff was allowed to expand with little concern for the cost. Says Punch Sulzberger: "When I first came here [1955], there was no budget." Arthur Hays Sulzberger, Punch's father, would share profit-and-loss figures with only three other top executives because, as his son says, "It was no one else's business." According to Sulzberger, then-Managing Editor Turner...
Force lieutenant colonel who wrote one of the reports, testified that he had seen a memo indicating that such studies should be "removed from the files." Miller added that he had been told the same thing by the memo's supposed author, Charles W. Hinkle, the Pentagon's director for security review. Hinkle, who was Miller's direct superior, then took the stand to say he had "no recollection" of anything of the sort. That plopped the matter right back in Judge Byrne's lap and left him once again in the middle. If he concludes...
