And how many spy novelists have taken this story and made it their own?
(David McClosky in "Moscow X" was probably the most recent, but I'm willing to bet that there were others before him).
Thinking of the parallel of sending copiers to Solidarity in Poland back in the 1980s and how that was kept secret for decades after.
Hooray! It's out.

I've followed WaPo since the early 1980s, depending on them professionally for updates and analysis in just the areas that they're cutting.
What a shame and a loss.
You earned the praise!
So many impressive speakers and fascinating topics in the @CamIntelligence lineup: www.hist.cam.ac.uk/event-series...

All honor and respect to the tens of thousands of our NATO ally veterans who showed such heroism in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world supporting the Global War on Terror. Your sacrifices are not and should not be forgotten.
We need to focus on promoting ethics, community, and the rule of law. (Figuring out how best to do this, of course, is the challenge of our lifetime.)
We have fallen into a moral abyss.
Can't wait!
Please join us. This is going to be super!
You can contact Dr. Sobel directly through the Bluesky SIH account: @socintelhist.bsky.social. Also, our webpage is at: www.intelligencehistory.org .

After 3 years of working with some of the most fabulous Intelligence History professionals anywhere, I've finished my term on the @socintelhist.bsky.social Board. I'm delighted to pass the reins to Dr. Ariel Whitfield Sobel, along with our social media accounts.
Super questions I wrestle with myself when preparing my students for IC careers.
Thank you, @tim-weiner.bsky.social for a marvelous discussion!
Can't wait for our Wednesday, Nov 19, discussion with @tim-weiner.bsky.social about his super new book, "The Mission." This is going to be good! @lucatrenta.bsky.social @chekistmonitor.bsky.social @socintelhist.bsky.social .
We're counting down, too. This is going to be good!
Fair enough. (Although I'll be buying any book of yours, regardless.)
