Who would have thought that in the 1950s, Burbank was a hotbed of international espionage?

Once you've lived the inside-out world of espionage, you never shed it. It's a mentality, a double standard of existence.
I'm sort of fascinated by the whole espionage crime thing.
The CIA teamed up with Army, Air Force and Naval Intelligence to run one of the most nefarious, classified, enhanced interrogation programs of the Cold War. The work took place inside a clandestine facility in the American zone of occupied Germany, called Camp King.
The '50s and the '70s are sort of similar in that they're both times of major paranoia in America.
If we are going to conduct espionage in the future, we are going to have to make some changes in the relationship between the intelligence community and the public it serves.
For decades, the men at Area 51 thought they'd take their secrets to the grave. At the height of the Cold War, they cultivated anonymity while pursuing some of the country's most covert projects. Conspiracy theories were left to popular imagination.
As I look back at the span of the Cold War in those early days, in the '50s, for example, there was a great deal of Soviet propaganda here in the United States, but it was clumsy, and it was anchored to a lot of ideological support in certain circles in America itself.
We have some material on spying by a major government on the tech industry. Industrial espionage.
I wanted to choose somewhere public, because I was scared of the KGB.
I wasn't a spy. I'd have been spotted in five seconds. Yes, I was in intelligence, but that covered a multitude of things.
