Session Four: Cold War Espionage: Through the Looking Glass:
Was the extent of Soviet espionage in the United States before and during the Cold War significantly exaggerated? Whether or not it was, the hunt for the enemy within led to the use of tactics that challenged individual civil liberties and constitutional rights.

Panelists include Herbert Romerstein, staff member, U.S. House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (1978–83); Nixon Library Director Timothy Naftali; Ronald Radosh, author of The Rosenberg File; Victor Navasky, publisher of The Nation; Francis Gary Powers, Jr., founder of the Cold War Museum in Virginia; and International Spy Museum Executive Director Peter Earnest.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
