...Occasionally the news gathered by TIME correspondents is deemed so vital that a reader cannot wait for it to see print. This seems to have been the case with Watergate Conspirator E. Howard Hunt. In 1971 he somehow acquired a cable sent by our Bangkok bureau chief reporting details of North Vietnamese military preparations in the South. The cable was found with other documents when Watergate investigators opened Hunt's White House safe and searched his files after the break-in of the Democratic headquarters...
