...matters of fact, Sperber seems considerably more sound. She secured cooperation from Murrow's widow Janet and son Casey, and reflects the family point of view. Yet she does note, albeit very briefly, Murrow's hard drinking, bursts of temper and infidelities, especially his open wartime love affair with Pamela Churchill, the British Prime Minister's daughter-in-law--matters the docudrama deliberately overlooked.

As the trial got under way, NSA Director William Odom and CIA Director William Casey issued an extraordinary statement admonishing / that the information revealed at the trial should not be a pretext for further disclosures about intelligence methods. Citing the "competing interests" of prosecutorial revelations and the need to protect the national security, the two intelligence chiefs warned reporters against "speculation and reporting details beyond the information actually released at trial."
