BTW:This image from the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was originally copyrighted by the Presse Illustrationen Hoffmann (Heinrich Hoffmann, Berlin SW68 Kochstrasse 10) and was seized by the US government after World War II and vested by the United States Attorney General as US government property in 1951. It is considered public domain because it was not divested to the original copyright owner and because of the ruling in Price v. United States: United States Court of Appeals, Fifth circuit, 20 November, 1995[1] which confirmed that under US law Heinrich Hoffman items in the National Archives are not copyrighted by the original copyright owners.

Interesting article in Vanity Fair on William J. Donovan:

(Note the error in the photo caption. They seem to confuse Donovan with Lord Mountbatten)

There is a new biography of Donovan out last month: “Wild Bill Donovan” by Douglas Waller.
