Heh, gotta be careful w/ that phrase;-) http://www.evesmag.com/murrow.htm

But Moscow!! That was enough for (Sen. Joseph, "Tail Gunner") McCarthy. His crowd had dug up "files" on everybody. The implication was clear. Murrow was now a full-fledged McCarthy target for having dared to broadcast the Radulovich story. But how was Murrow on the Soviet payroll? Surine's explanation was simplicity itself: The I.I.E. had to go through VOKS, the Soviet student exchange organization, they paid some of the expenses -- and that put the I.I.E. -- and Murrow -- on the Soviet payroll.

I asked if I could show the photostats to Mr. Murrow. Permission granted. "Mind you, Joe," Surine said, "I'm not saying Murrow's a Commie himself....but if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck -- it's a duck." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why, Ed Murrow was so "Red" JFK appointed him to run VOA, no? Michael Pugliese, just saw Manchurian Candidate again, whatta movie. You know Sinatra had some pink leanings once? http://foia.fbi.gov/sinatra.htm
