WORD & IMAGE;Top Secret

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY, reporters, editors and owners of The Times stood accused in Federal court of treasonous defiance of the United States. We had begun to publish a 10-part series about the Pentagon Papers, a 7,000-page study of how four Administrations became entrapped in Vietnam -- progressively more committed and more frustrated than they dared at every stage to admit to the public. Although the documents were historical and lacking any operational value, they were stamped "Top Secret" and therefore withheld, like trillions of other Government papers, from public, press, Congress and even Executive officials not duly "cleared" into the priesthood of "national security." We now know that President Nixon at first enjoyed this enormous leak. The papers covered none of his actions; they mostly belabored his Democratic predecessors, Kennedy and Johnson. Indeed, the scoop inspired Nixon to search the files for other secrets that he could leak to sully Democrats during his re-election campaign.
