Said the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Do our intelligence operatives enjoy so much freewheeling authority that they can touch off an incident of grave international import by low-level decisions unchecked by responsible policymaking power?"

Letters of Protest. At week's end the Post-Dispatch, under the heading, "Dissent to a Story," printed several letters of protest.
