When I heard that the CIA put their family jewels online, I immediately thought of this fascinating post by Lyle Daggett. The CIA website is getting hammered so I didn’t poke around too much because it is very slooow. Some highlights:
CRANKS, NUTS, AND SCREWBALLS (1965)
THE INTELL[I]GENCE OF LITERATURE (1963)
REQUEST FOR POPULAR MARIMBA MUSIC POEMS (1954)
BERLIN CONGRESS FOR CULTURAL FREEDOM; ACTIVITIES OF MELVIN LASKY (W/ATTACHMENT) more here (1950)
p.s. Dear CIA — I hope you don’t mind deep-linking.
Love, Jilly
Hey Jully… Have you requested you “own” file under the Freedom of Information Act?
No but I did for my dad & got the run around. Will try again though.
