Hoover marks 42 years as FBI chief with no retirement plan
FBI Director J Edgar Hoover observed his 42nd year at the helm with no public observance and no hint of an eventual successor. At 71 he arrives early and leaves late, while remaining largely unseen. A steady stream of visitors, from foreign police chiefs to clerks, pass through his office as President Johnson has supported his stance to stay on.
