Joanna so apparently stupid, irresponsible, evasive, and to use his own adjective, "idiotic." Surely, there must have been some ulterior motive behind the hiring because as a lawyer, Kalmbach strikes me as a great golf player. R.R., Newport Beach, Calif. A. In 1969, Herbert Kalmbach was hired as Nixon's personal lawyer by the President's Rasputin, H.R. "Bob" Haldeman. Kalmbach in conjunction with a Southern California Haldeman's brother-in-lareal estate dealer named Francis Raine, had handled the 1969 acquisition of Nixons $1.4 million San Clemente estate so that no public record existed showing the President's true interest in the trust-hel- d property. Moreover, as the Watergate hearings reflect, Kalmbach was an unquestioning Nixonian loyalist who became deputy finance chairman under Maurice Stans in the 1968 Presidential campaign. Probably because of real or fancied political influence with the President, Kalmbach's law firm, Kalmbach, De Marco, Knapp and Chillingworth, soon attracted such corporate clients as United Airlines, the Marriott Corporation, MCA, and others.

Is this a fact? Martha Schlesinger, Charlottesville, I Va. A. Sakharov has accused the Soviet Union of being a closed and isolated society, of keeping its people in relative ignorance of the outside world by severe restrictions on travel and information. He has also charged that Communist Party members in the Soviet Union are a "privileged class." As a result of telling the truth, Sakharov, one of the world's great nuclear physicists, has been denounced by Soviet authorities as an "utterly ignorant person" who "groveled before the capitalist order to smear his own country." It will surprise no one if Sakharov is placed in a Soviet insane asylum as a punishment for his truthtelling. That has become a standard Soviet practice of late. judge.
