Fascinating to see how large the organization was, and some of the famous people who were part of it.

I knew Julia was a spy. That has been pretty much common knowledge.

it's confirmed now. I guess Julia's status has been known for some time now, but a lot of people's status were still under lock and key.

I once worked for a Dean at Rutgers who was in the OSS, Hamilton Stillwell was his name, I think (it was years ago). He never would talk about what he did though. This would be an interesting archive to explore.

in the article I linked to, at least one person said they didn't tell their wife they were in it for over 60 years. I have to wonder how many interesting stories and history have been lost because these individuals kept their secrets so well.
