looking through the JFK files and haven\u2019t cracked the case yet, but it\u2019s fascinating just as a slice of intelligence service life circa \u201863-75 or so

the different typewriter formatting conventions, the heavy entropy of early photocopiers, the Soviet defector interrogations, the extensive intelligence evaluations of MLK and the black power movement that unquestioningly accept them as part of the Cold War, tracing ties to overseas conferences and Communist publications

a retired FBI/CIA type sending in his manuscript \u201cCommunism - a 20th Century Red Plague\u201d and a short biography and requesting help finding a \u201cpro-intelligence publisher\u201d
