False Credentials. A Hoover memo of October 1968, titled "The Disruption of the New Left," urged that the FBI send anonymous letters to parents, informing them when their youngsters were arrested in antiwar demonstrations. At the 1964 Democratic Convention, the FBI got false press credentials through NBC and inserted agents, working as reporters, within left-wing and civil rights groups. Sometimes the FBI tried to disrupt the marriages of dissidents by sending anonymous letters to a husband or wife. Said one letter to the husband of a white woman active in the black movement: "Look man I guess your...

Among the defendants are four communications companies-RCA Global Communications, ITT World Communications, Western...
...surveillance. The agency began in 1940 to inspect (but not open) the letters and packages of those Americans who, in its opinion, "might be willing to sell information to a foreign power." Eventually the FBI set up mail-inspection operations in eight cities, and its targets came to include antiwar demonstrators as well as people mailing pornography. Even though former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover stopped the program in 1966, the FBI continued to receive information that the CIA had gathered in its mail openings...
