Last summer, as the Administration's dissatisfaction with Hoover increased, the Justice Department took unprecedented steps to curb the director, who for decades had worked with virtual autonomy. The department's public relations men began editing Hoover-drafted FBI crime reports and news releases. Then Mitchell intervened directly in FBI internal affairs, urging new courses of action and, in some areas, bluntly telling Hoover to change his way of doing things. Hoover accepted the orders, but later fulminated that someone within the FBI was giving the Administration a false picture of his operations. In late July, Hoover dropped...
...seeks only a "normalization of relations" between the two powers. This presumably would include exchanges of trade missions, scholars and journalists, plus some means of regular government-to-government communication, short of formal diplomatic recognition. That package in itself would be a significant breakthrough after a quarter-century of virtual noncommunication. Yet Nixon has long warned that summitry is a dubious tactic unless the expectations it usually creates can be fulfilled. He undoubtedly would agree with a Chinese saying that can apply to political as well as geographical peaks: "Easy to climb up, hard to get down...
...textile imports, and Japanese textile firms after considerable bargaining have agreed to most of the U.S. demands. But the Japanese businessmen do not want the agreement to take the form of a constricting government-to-government arrangement; the U.S. textile industry, to which the Nixon Administration has granted virtual veto power on the terms, will settle for nothing less.

If it is not forthcoming by then, the President...
...regarded as certain that the Peking government will be admitted this fall, 22 years after the Communist takeover on the mainland. Nor is there any doubt that the Communist government will immediately be granted China's permanent seat on the 15-seat Security Council; that, too, became a virtual certainty when the U.S. went on record last week as supporting such a move. The remaining question is whether, in the weeks to come, the U.S. will be able to prevent the U.N. from altogether expelling Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Chinese regime...
After he replaced Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess in 1941, he exercised virtual control over everyone Hitler saw and everything Hitler read. As executor of Hitler's estate, he was the first to enter the room in the Führerbunker after Hitler's suicide. Turning the government over to Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz, Bormann fled the bunker on the night of May 1, 1945, in an attempt to slip through the tightening Soviet ring of tanks and troops only 300 yards away. Somewhere between the bunker and Friedrichstrasse Station, Martin Bormann vanished...
