Reported the paper breathlessly: "Fleming prides himself on his knowledge of espionage and villainy. His best friend is Allen Dulles, former head of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, who even attempted (but unsuccessfully) to try methods recommended by Fleming in his books. Obviously American propagandists must be in a bad way if they have recourse to the help...
