CIA and OSS files, CIA agents, and CIA-controlled defectors. . . .
In addition to carrying original stories by CIA officers and CIA agents, if you examine what are now known to have been major CIA covert operations, in every case, the Reader’s Digest printed the CIA’s cover story at that time and place.
