Hoover Attacks Plot Warns Against FBI Criticism
In a 1971 LA Times piece, Prof. Heinrich Applebaum argues attacks on J Edgar Hoover and the FBI divert agents from crime fighting. He says 4 166 attacks this year forced 8 332 hours of work off cases, leaving only six agents free to pursue criminals. He calls media criticism dangerous and urges stopping attacks to restore focus on public safety.

Burlington Industries Obstacle Clears for Guilford Bond Purchase
Greensboro officials seek to use $500000 social services bond funds to buy the former Burlington Industries headquarters and land, enabling space for the Social Services Health and Mental Health departments near the new government center. Attorneys say the purchase would be in substantial compliance with voter intent, citing Asheville court precedent. The plan would repurpose a 126000 square foot facility adjacent to Wendover Avenue, expanding county facilities and future growth.
