No. This person went back to the 30s and 40s and 50s. Yes, maybe Johnson, but I think he was referring to more obscure people - perhaps people in the State Dept. He took his secrets to the grave. He was the last man to see Carlo Tresca alive.
Now I have to look up Carlo Tresca :)
i’m used to that at FR and enjoy it.
i’m 47, and thought it seems old to me, it seems a number of FReepers have info from the 30’s on. It’s Great!
