He had been ac- cused of murdering a policeman. Since he seemed to me so sweet and gentle. I could' not believe he had committed murder. and I signed his petition. Inside the auditorium. I was soon swept up by orators and visual demonstrations emphasizing the theme that Let Harvey Oswald (if he was involved at all) was only one of several conspirators in the murder of John Kennedy. The proof seemed to lie in the fact that various documents showed a discrepancy in Oswald's height. One speaker said that "the Warren Report � gave" Oswald's height as 5 feet 10 inchrl. I knew Os- wald wasn't that tall and I thought that. it the Warren Report were that wrong, perhape we were onto some- thing, after all.

Perhaps herein lies a key to the dill' I have in � g with power � it is perhaps the most per- sorrel desire we have, since even the intimacy of sex is usually shared with someone else. Power, by cen- tres% is a private passion, the win- ning and the losing are internal, only we CAT% know whether or not we've wan OUT pale. � � � � "Power!" says the Rev. John J. McLaughlin, the controversial Jesuit who was t deputy special preside.n- tial assistant, and seemed to fueetion as chief er.orcisi to the defueet Nixon White House. "What do we know about it? We Coen know anything about it. We have set eduemon � why don't we have power education? You can train yourself to handle pewee." True enough. though one wonders, � judging from Father McLaughlin's support for such temporal Matters as the Chrietmae bombing of Hanoi, the mining of Hai- phong and the president's stand on Watereate, whether he himself is able to perceive the difference be- tween what he deecribes as "two views of power . an opportunity for an ego-trip, and an opportunity for service." We don't in fact know much about power. Nolooner had the scandal of Watefte, been revealed than Sor- raora begin to appear 02 the evils of power, as if the White House under Richard ftl. Nixoa had been the pal- ace of Nebuchadnercer. Yet what was Wetereate but an example of the price of impotence? The rationale for the burglary � and all that followed individual who is truly alive. I've said this to our ball club. Every time you woe you're reborn; when you lost you die a little." . But power is not based on winnieg all the time. A' man who has to win every bustle is esking the impossible of hi reKetf and the world, and is likely to collapse the first time he encoun- ters deftest. A powerful man, by defi- nition, is able to survive failure and humiliation, to draw some deeper wiodorn from them, to practice what John F. Kennedy called "grace ander pressure." The essence of power is the ability to cope with the demands of life, not to react like a paranoid at every real There is no doubt that a "high�level self�pity influenced that style of the Nixon White ;Pow., arid self�pil y nOt nri ce�nr., 1,1 morn. to Howl, iia�ft� iota y fir ril�;11 .01/71i111,1/.111,11 unique in this re,f/t!,:t. Nlany uf people we think are powerful turn out on closer exarr.anation to be merely frightened and anxious. It is a mis� take to assume that the position and the person. are the sante thing.

I think, safely con� elude that he is not a man of power. However humble our own position. we haste chance of gutting whatev- er it is we want.

I have talked with Colby, and I am ewe lie meaes this. In my opinien, he is ill work oithm the CIA to inske it a better. ntuee responsible agency. Yet it was only It years aga the: the CIA went through another ueheesse. The blunder of all CIA blunders was the Ray of Pigs inva�ion. Preside-it � Kennedy was so angry after the fi..1SCO that he threatened "to snhnter the CIA in a thouaend pieces and seatte: it to the winds." Instead, he confronted the CIA's el� vilian watchdogs. 'Something is gravely wrong inside the CIA. and I In- tend to find out what It te," he pro- claimed. "I cannot afford another Bay of Pigs." lie personally attended many of the civilian advisory board's secret ses- sions and helped to fashion reforms that were Imposed Upon the CIA. He charged his brother. Robert, with the responsibility to see that the reforms were put int,q.effect, The younger Ken- nedy shook up the agency &bin- top to - bottom. Yet throughout the very throes of these reforms, the CIA uaed the Mafia to make several attempte on the life Of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. And the worst excesses of the CIA. including the Illegal spying on .American citiz- ens. occurred during the next 10 years. Now the Rockefeller Commission is prepared once again- to rely on a "strengthened" civilian advisory board to make the CIA behave. The Rockefel- ler reformers would at the board full powers for "auesecne the quality of foreign intelligence collection." There is something dismayingly fa� roiliar about this. Back in 1961. the Nerd was reformed with powers, ac- cording to the old charter, to "conduct a continuing review and assessment of foreign inteiligence activities." In other words, the board has always had the powers Nelson. Rockefeller so piously would now bestow upon at. Ile should be aware of this, since he has served on the board. He should also he (mealier with its history of acquiesenc* to the CIA. Periodically, CIA official, hav� been called before the board for question- in. The sessions have always been so- ber but sympathetic, with thy axiality that characterizes gentlenie3 who share :.:rave 'secrets. � Participents have assured sts that they have otten pressed reforms upon the CIA. But apparently, these have been more structural than substantive. The CIA officials always listen sof emnly to their civilian advisors, There- after, the officials call meetings, issue directives, mose the fureiture around and. otherwise create the impression that chengcs will, be trade. And then they quietly return to their sante old routines. The cozy relationship between the watchdogs and the watchees is exem- Milted by the board's executive set:re- -tars. Wheaton Byers. My associate, Jim Grady, asked him for the phone num- bers of board members so we could so- lic4 their comments Byers indignantly refused. saying 14 e . - wrote a "'curt-ill-els" eolturna that printed classified Information. Evi- dently, he considered 'he phone num- bers of the :nen:bees ciasslied, since he refused to give them out. We reached several of them anyway: with rare exception. we found them as pro- tective as Byers toward the CIA. This seems to be the attitude of ev- eryone close go the CIA. It:ea agree with Colby, who nant, to make it a crime for newsmen to publish classi- fied information. The tegtstation he has in mind, of course would author- ise the CIA director to determine whet aeoteit be classified.

These exposures, together with the current crisis of imperialiSin. have undermined the government's credibility to such an extent that the Ameriean people no longer take anything for granted. The most recent victim of tl.e credibility gap is the warren Commission's "official" version of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas almost 12 years ago. According to a :ccent Gallup Poll. a majority of Americans no longer believe the Warren Commission's report which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin. The disbelief, combined with charges that the CIA was responsible for the assassination, has even lcd the Rockefeller Commission on the CIA to take up the question of the agency's role in the assassination. Political activist Dick Gregory. who says he has evidence linking the CIA to Kennedy's death, has testified before the commission headed by Vice President 'Rockefeller. Gregory claims that E. Howard Hunt' was taught by Dallas police at the site of the assassination minutes after it happened. Hunt. convicted two years .110 in connection with the Watergate bugging. was a CIA agent at the time Kennedy was killed. Gregory's case rests on a photograph published last year in undergrourd newspapers which allegedly shows hunt and Frank A. Sturgis. also cenvieted In connection with Watergate and believed to � have been a CIA employe, being led away by Dallas policemen from a grassy knoll 'across the street (rum the Tel as school hook depository.

Moments later, the director's door opened And a. beapectaeled youth strode toward his desk. He was Peter Wolfe. Lewis,. special assistant, only five years out of college :but with a- career already securely attached to his boss's good fortunes. Lewis did not waste time on amenities.

Lewis turned the page. � Several miles away, President Roscoe Tanner snapped off the television set in the Oval Office of the White !louse. The House Judiciary Committee had just voted 20 to 18 to recommend 'his im- peachment to the fuU House of Repre- sentatives. Twenty years earlier, Tanner had been one of the members of the Justici- ary Committee that voted to recommend Richard Nixon's' inipeacfun eat. He remembered how quickly that situation had-deteriorated, how Nixon had finally quit to avoid being thrown out and how only a Presidential pardon had saved him from going to jail. Tanner knew that he was in deeper trouble than Nixon had been�bin for different reasons. Since becoming Presi� dcnt in a landslide victory, he had worked systematically to cut down the power of the big corporations whose influence over American political and economic life had increased spectacular- ly in the past few years. 1 his had done nothinn to hurt his popularity with the American people. but it had earned him the hatred of many busine..s leadcrs and they had struck back.

Ivi;an to erode hn ;subtle support and. worse, to take a tail on his - mental health. Tanner slept very little now and had to resort to massive does et pi:en to get � any rest at all. He sat alone for hours in the Oval Office, brood:ng about his imp:riding fate. closed off from his staff and his family. The Gosemment was a: a standstill because no Member of his Cabinet could get through to him for 7 any kind of policy decision. . But he had made in important elect- sion just last night: Ile was not going to i quit and he was not gains to let himself I be impeached. He sat stomped in his chair, his head in his hands. And then he began to weep uncontrollably. � Only SC feet from where the Presi- dent wept, General %alley Buchanan sat in the office of-the White 'House Chief of Staff. Ever since General Alexander t Haig's appointment to that position by Nixon; White House administration had frequently been entrusted to a military man, and no one seemed to think It ! incongruous that a Government that prided itself on civilian control over the Armed-Forces-followed such a course. Buchanan had the bearing of a man who had spent his entire adult life in the Army. But today, he was experi- encing a very unrailitary anguish. Over the past few months, he had watched the deterioration of the President, and only last night, he had come to the conclusion that the nation's Chief Executive was losing his mental balance, perhaps even becoming desperate enough to take an action that could be harmful to the United States. Buchanan's feel for the national interest played has�oc with his loyalty to Tanner and. with his deep compassion for a man who had put so much trust in him. Around midnight, hoping for goidance, he had taken a collect phone call from an old friend, a former top CIA onicer ...00ntingoA ' 5 '; 5 '�e s$ h.:.!

Still. the thought of personally ordenne the as.. sasaination of the President of the United States was staggering. He had read enough of the dossier to reject the -PlariTreper.

"1 want to make sure that you have thought this thing out completely and that in your mind, it is the only plausible solution," "There's no other way. Rock." Bu- cha.nan replied. **No other way at all. And the quicker we hit him the better. That man with his finger on the nuclear button is a hying danger to all of an. And it doesn't matter now whether he's guilty or not. The situation has reached the point where we've got to do soziae- thing--and fast." "OK. Wiley," Lewis said. "But just remember that when .1 put down thn phone. there's no turning back. Rod Rose will be operational in a half hour.

"Start the operation." - Lewis heard the phone click at the other end of the line, then he summoned Wolfe. "Call alikhaylov at the Soviet Embassy and tall him I've got to see him right away." � Wolfe shot his boss a look of dis- belief. "Right now!" Lewis snapped, and Wohe. hurrica out. 'Night was baginaing to fall when Ivan Mikhaslov, the K.G.B. chief of station in Washing�on. drove up to the guard gah: of the CIA building in Lang:ev.

"All right, Mr. Lewis. what Is it you want?" "Mr. Milthaylov, I would like you to make contact with your superiors and have them put into effect the Alternate Plan of Operation Red Rose that they have had in their files since 1974." "And just what is that plan all about, Mr. Lewis?" the Soviet agent asked. -Wo would like you -to assassinate our President." � It was the next day and the President was alone, .as usual, in his office when Buchanan buzzed to see him. The President had seen no one else for the past several-weeks, but he made it a saint to talk to Buchanan at least once a day. He buzzed hick, and in a few moments. Buchanan VMS standing be- fore him. "Mr. President, how are you feeling tv�lay?" "Not very well, Wiley. Didn't get intizh sleep last nicht. But you didn't come in here to ask me about my health. up?"

What else do you want?" � Well, the Secretary of Defense wants .! to see you. You know, we're um ra. volsed in those SALT talks with the , soviet Union and he needs some stud- once trom you on how to proceed." "And what more?" -Well, just about an hour ago, the Soviet Embassy called and said that it was urgent for their ambassador to tee . you. He has a message from' Chairman i lvanov that he says must be handed to I you before the day is over." On his note pad. Buchanan checked off the items of business. "I'll see the ambassador at four o'clock." Tanner said. Buchanan looked up Li surprise. Why, he wondered, was the President willing to come out of isolation for the Soviet ambassador? Ho kept his thoughts to himself. "OK. Ell act that up," he said ' tonelessly. "And what about the Seem, tary of Defense?" "He can wait. Maybe I'll see him tomorrow. 'That's all, Wiley," Buchanan knew there was no use in arguing with the President. Ile quickly I strode out of the office. Mikhail Stepanov. the Soviet ambas- had been in Washingtoa even longer than is predecessor, Anatoliy Dobr)nn.

He had not. seen the President for more than two sears. befilike everybody else in aVashington. he had heard a number of rumors. which he faithfully reported to his government, about the declining state of his health. At precisely 3:50 P.m.. he eased himself into the bads seat of his limou- sine and was driven the four blocks that Separate the Soviet enclave from the White House. His instructions had been to go through the southwest gate so that the 'reporters who congregated an front of the main entrance wouldn't see him. He was cleared through immediately by the guard and met by General Buchanan at the west basement entrance. A few moments later; he was ushered Into the Oval Office. His first impression was that Tanner had aged: His face was drawn and there were large bags under his eyes, which looked bloodshot. But he was affable: "Sit down, -Mr. Ambassador. Please sit down." he said. Stepanov sank into a chair. And how is Chairman lvanov? You know. I like him a great deal." "The chairman's health is excellent." Stepanot replied. He has just returned from a month's vacation on the Black Sta. I saw him there while I was on vacation: he asked about your health." "Olt. you can tell the chairman I'm just fine.

A look of stupefaction crossed Tan. !tees face as he continued to read: �� Those of my staff who were in- volsed in the negotiaticids.-,told me that there was some thought, at the time, of invoking the clauses of the agreement against Mr. Nixon. Obviously, they did not feel it nec- essary to do so, particularly when he resigned. But now the CIA has called on us to carry out Operation Red Rose. It has asked us to assassinate you. Mr. President. Of course, I have forbidden my people to carry out this assignment, but at the same time, because of my high regard for you.

For a, moment, there was an embarrassed silence. All that indicated rzcognition was a slight widening of the eyes and an almost imperceptible tight- ening of the mukles of her face. And then she was gone. disappearing in her limousine. Even now. 11 and a half years since that sunny day in Dallas. it is the murder no one will ever forget.

A young presi- dent. pledged "to do better." riding in an open limousine, waving to cheering crowds. A turn. then another turn, and the car is heading past a tall building. slowly gliding toward the tunnel that lies just be)ond a grassy knoll. The wife of the governor turns toward him and smiles. "You can't say the people of Dallas don't love you. Mr. President." There is no answer, only a sharp. popping noise, a sound like firecrackers. In that moment everything changes. The furies that were released with _the assassination of John Fitzgerald Ken- nedy have never gone away. Nor have the doubts that have surrounded the circum- stances of his killing. The %Yams, Cons' . � The "dirty rumors the Warren Commission tried to squash have not gone away. Now Watergate and new evidence have forced another look. The conclusion: a conspiracy for sure If mission's verdict tha! a "deranged" young man named Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone. murdered President Kennedy and seriously wounded Governor John Con- nally. only to be killed himself two days later by another deranged. lone assassin named Jack Ruby. raised as many ques- tions as it answered Two years after the taibriralra publication of the commission's find- ings� a report and 26 volumes of docu- ments and testimony. based on 25.000 in- � terviews� the Gallup and Harris polls found that nearly two-thirds of the Amer- . ican people disbelieved its conclusions. They were not the only doubters. Lyndon Johnson. who had appointed the commission, went to his grave believing that his predecessor had been the victim of a "communist" conspiracy. John Con- nally loudly proclaimed his objections to the commissior.'s finding that he had been wounded by the same bullet that had allegedly passed through the Ptesi- dent's throat. The commission's version of Connally's � wounding was crucial. since, as one commission lawyer put it. "more shots means more assassins." Sev- eral members of the commission itself were less titan convinced of the accuracy of the report they signed. Rep. Hale Boggs of Louisiana, a commission mem- ' ber, was particularly upset by many of the - findings and wanted to issue a minority report. until the commission agreed to in- sert "probable_s" in front of many items that had been marked certainties. Even so. Boggs was less than satisfied. Until his . mysterious disappearance in a light plane flying over Alaska in 1972. he continued, , to tell friends that the Warren Corn. mission was in error.

Then, another one of those coincidences. In New Orleans a district attorney named Jim Garrison. a figure of Large ambition and unsavory reputation. indicted Clay Shaw. directorof the New Orleans Trade Mart, for conspiracy to murder John Ken- nedy., Garrison claimed that Shaw was the . ringleader of a CIA cabal.

Much of the evidence that is being gone over today is precisely the same ground that the critics went over a de- cade ago. What has changed is belief. The strongest selling point of the Warren Commission is net what it said but the people who said it: some of the most re- spected men in the land, among them the chief justice of the United States, two di- rectors of the CIA and a man who a de- cade later would assume the presidency.

Hoover blandly', reports that while "minor variations" were found between the fragments taken from President Kennedy's body and those taken from Governor COnnally's body. those differences were not judged to be "sufficient." To the layman, that explana- tion sounds fine, and certainly the com- mission did not question it. But the beau- ty of NAA is that the site of differences between particles are meaningless. Virtu- ally any difference, however minute, is not only "syfficient" but irrefutable. Un- less atoms changed their straeture that day in Dallas. John Kennedy and John I Connally were wounded by separate bullets. Perhaps the subtleties of neutrons and atoms may have escaped the mem- bers of the commission. Incredibly, no mention of the NAA test or Hoover's let- ter is to be found either in the report or the 26 volumes of evidence (so far the 'FBI has refused to release copies of the actual NAA findings).

Thus, the possibil- ity of an assassin or assassins firing on the motorcade from the direction of the grassy knoit to the right of Elm Street was ruled out. " To rule it out, the commission had to discount the testimony of more than 50 witnesses, nearly a score more than those who reported shots coming front the School Book Depository. By and large, the grassy knoll witnesses were. like Lee Sowers. quite positive about what they saw or heard. Mote iinportant- ly. many of their stories coincided in cru- cial details. snd the details were quite' specific. S. M. Holland. who observed the scene from the overpass. reported seeing a puff of smoke near the stockade fence immediately after the shots: Bowers not- ed the presence of several strange cars in the parking lot in back of the knoll. In one of the cars. Bowers said, a man seemed to be speaking into something that resembled a microphone. . Films back up some of the stories. The Nix film, for instance.shows people running in the direction of the knoll ins� mecliately after the shots, while two peo- ple on the knoll itself throw themselves to the ground, to avoid being hit by more shots. The film also shows the two motor- cycle officers who had been riding behind the presidential limousine dismounting and one of them running up the knoll. gun drawn.

Win- ston Lawson. the Secret Service agent re- sponsible for the choice of the Kennedy motorcade route, later reported that mo- torcycle outriders-�were posted on "the left and right flanks of the President's car" (a position that would ha�-e made a cross-fire more difficult). But, as the films of dr motorcade clearly indicate, the motorcycles were posted well to the rear of the President's car and, according to the Dallas police, were positioned there at Lawson's own instructions.

Across the street from the Book Depository is the Dat-Tes Building. and assassination theorists have long specu- lated that some of the shots on the motor- cade could have come from there as well as from the Book Depository.

The day of the assassination. while rummaging through a garage where Os- wald kept some of his things. the police also uncovered two snapshots of Oswald standing in a back yard. a revolver strap- ped around his hip. In one hand he bolds some socialist propaganda literature. In the other he hefts a long, scope-mounted rifle. The FBI. however, was unable to determine whether the rifle was the Car- �cano. Other researchers. notably Sylvia Meagher. assert that the sun Oswald holds is 2.4 inches longer than the Car. cano. In any case, there is serious ques- tion whether the man holding the rifle is Lee Harvey Oswald at all. Several pro- fessional photo analysts have flatly branded the pietism as a fake. They point out that the V-shaped shadow under the � nose is identical in both photos, even though Oswald's head is tilted in one and erect in another.

Within the last century or so, professional students of the dis� f1141 c.ience cit the marketplace dis. cardrd the modest label "political ismy" for the crisp but ad- ing kbel "economies." The distinction is interesting. Pi, Iowa: economists never bothered to deny or conceal bias; economists � many of them � pretend to have none. They suggest that neutral "lasts" of the marketplace can be disctvered, and that every rational persim must then acknowledge their force. This imposture has a long histexy.

What the Agency did not say its this cable is that it had in. its possession a photograph of the man who had apparently "identified himself' as Os- wald. The man in the CIA Photo was not Lee Harvey Oswald; he was, just as the Agency's "reliable and sensitive source" had described him, approxi- mately thirty-five years old, with an athletic build and a receding hairline. According to a memorandum by Helms, the CIA ncver received the Navy's pictures of Oswald 'and only concluded after the assassination that two different people were involved.s Meanwhile, the photograph was deliv- ered to the FBI on November 22, 1963.6 One can only guess the confusion caused by the picture.

The Warren Report contains a %cry brief account of the incident. *According to the Report, the CIA had provided the FBI with a photo- graph of "a man who, it was tnought� at the time, might have been associated with Oswald."' The Report quoted an 'affidavit by Richard Helms that "the original photograph had been taken by the CIA outside of the United States SOmeairne between July I. 1963 and November 22. 1963.'40 The Commission's explanation is both inaccurate and misleading. The implication that the CIA thought the susstery man was "ay.ociated with Oswald" only masks the true situation. On the basis of its own evidence, the Agency must have concluded either that the mystery man was imperson- ating Oswald or that an unlikely chain of errors had accidentally linked both the man in the photograph and the man who "contacted- the Sosiet Em- bassy to Lee Harvey Oswald. The truth was further obscured by the Report's reference to the Helms affidavit, which described the circum- stances in which the mystery man WAS, � photographed only in the most %ague 'and, general terms. The atfidavit was dated August 1, I964.11 However. the Commtssion never mentioned in its Report or in its twenty-six supplensenta- :y solumcs that it had obta.ncd an cattier affidavit from Helms on F.:iv No4 ::t "T'le pholocaph," ta'sen in�t:stzta C:tv 0.::'..;brr 4, 1�,r)3..." 41,11.:c tle!r7, �I" "f the 14:s. the cito�zs us i,h, 57, �. the and to',I :11.55.1 1, ,�; te.,...!r,:e the he totiossme. c.cf !(); ',use" Z.,�!1���:;% (�,� the h,, � Cf..
