Espionage and spying have been part of New York City history (and, indeed, US history) since before the Revolutionary War.  Right or wrong, spying is a vital part of national defense, whether we're at war or living in peacetime. Learn about several important figures in New York City's clandestine past, the brilliant (or inept!) spies who have passed through town, the failings of our justice system, and the triumphs of our sharp- eyed law enforcement personnel who have thwarted sabotage attempts. Kate and Kathleen tell you about the most interesting people and situations in the illegal intelligence community.
