“Boudin is also related to Michael Boudin,[9] a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and Isidor Feinstein Stone, an independent journalist.”
I.F. Stone was a Soviet agent in the late 1930s, and possibly later. Most analysts of the VENONA tapes are convinced that he is referred to there by the code name BLIN. Calling Stone an “independent journalist” is like calling former NY Times columnist Walter Duranty an “independent journalist.”
