...government has called ten witnesses in four weeks of testimony trying to prove espionage, conspiracy and theft charges against Ellsberg and Russo in connection with the leak of the Pentagon's top secret war study...
During the last few years it has been the Masters and staffs of the Houses who have been most conscious of the growing dangers of theft and assault and have been almost alone in demanding greater protection.
