...allies have tried to silence Radio Free Europe, which beams programs of news, music and political commentary to five Eastern European countries, and Radio Liberty, which broadcasts exclusively to the Soviet Union.

He knew their bank accounts, their mistresses, foibles, skills, their very hearts. Just how did he manipulate the Senate in 1957 to produce the first civil rights bill in almost a hundred years?
