- .?t~ ?jL. __| -of- ^9 j I Books I THE CIA AND THE CULT OF INTELLIGENCE The CIA has always been a mysterious body of the United States government. Its agents are secret and the work it does is unknown. There have been concerns raised about its activities, but very little information has been divulged. Victor Marchetti and John D. Marks, authors of The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence, both developed and maintained an interest in intelligence while working in government positions-Marchetti as a CIA agent and Marks as-assistani to the State Department's intelligence director. They soon became discouraged by the United States' intervention in foreien affairs arwt in IQ74 r?iM?ch_ ed The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence, a means of "influencing the public and Congress to institute meaningful control over American intelligence and to end theJype of intervention abroad which, in addition to being counterproductive, is inconsistent with the ideals by which our country is supposed to govern itself." In 1980 this reveal4 ing document is in paperback. After the grueling scrutiny under which the tert* and authors of the book went through, it is miraculous that it could be^so easily accessible. In 1973, CIA officials read .the manuscript and told Marchetti and Marks to remove 339 passages (nearly one-fifth of the book). After long ? negotiations, the CIA yielded on one-hundred seventyone items. Not only did they censor text, they censored speeches, clearly intruding on first amendment rights. Marchetti, having been an official of the agency, had signed a promise not to disclose secrets learned there, v This agreement has never been considered legal. However, the courts uphold that Marchetti, for the rest of his life, is forbidden to disclose "in any manner" any classified information learned while at the CIA unless he got official clearance first. To enforce that, agency representatives let him know whenever they were in the audience at meetings where he was supposed to speak. The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence reveals how the United States has rigorously aimed at interfering in foreign affatrvfman effort to maintain democracy, risk ing losing the democracy it was trying to defend. I cannot help wondering if my government is more concerned with defending our democratic system or more intent on imitating the methods of totalitarian regimes in order to maintain its already inordinate power over f the American people. - y Marchetti and Marks recap numerous occassions when the United States has lied to its people to cover its operations and often failures. The Eisenhower administration lied about the CIA's involvement in Guatemala's coup d'etat in 1954. The Kennedy administration lied about the CIA's role in the "abortive invasion" of Cuba in 1961 and the Nixon administration lied about the agency's attempt to fix the Chilean election in 1970. Unfortunately, in many situations, the main idea of a paragraph is lost becausc^of .the deletions. The book Clearly indicates where deletions arc made, where information was deleted and then reinstated and where passages are included for the first time. The boldface type . indicating information which had formerly been censored is surprising because one wonders why these deletions were ever made in the first place. For those who enjoy reading about the undercover attempts of the government and question the legality of many of these attempts, this book is a must. ?

Older people should protest and deal with the stereotyping and ageism that is all too prevalent in the broadcast media," advises NAACP leader Benjamin Hooks when he joins Hugh Downs on OVER EASY. Before assuming his role at-the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization, Hooks served as the first black member of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). While there, he helped set the guidelines that raised the number of minorities working in the broadcast field from 3 to II percent. Hooks sees many parallels between ageism and racism-a situation that places black senior citizens in double jeopardy of being discriminated against due to race and age. Hooks notes that for many years Social Security didn't cover many of the -professions-cooks, chauffeurs, housekeepers and gardeners?commonly occupied by blacks. Due to that situation, "Many black workers worked 12 and 16 hours a day, but now face History, P< Of Harlem * K\ - "Harlem is an American legend. Extending north for more than fifty blocks above New York City's Central Park, it is one of the world's most famous communities.

Benjamin retirement with little or no Social Security benefits." Even when blacks' job categories were covered by the Social Security system, many workers earned so little that they could never enjoy maximum Social Security benefits. Hooks says he "marvels" at the courageous spirit he witnesses in older people of all races despite the often fcharsh realities they face.

In this film, Miles seeks to answer the question, "Whatever happened to Harlem?" As he says, "That's a question many of .. us who grew up there have been asking. First, it was a living community ? once known as the black capital of the world -- and then it died. -Now, it seems to be coming back to life. By analyzing its history and interviewing its people, 1 believe we can try TcTrecapture the special sense of community that it once had. and that it can havp again." Miles discovered that after he began working on "I Remember Harlem," he was contacted by people who wanted to share memories or who recommended that he speak to others with stories to tell. Some had achieved national prominence; others, despite noteworthy pasts, were living in relative obscurity.
