Such is apparently no longer the case according to Christopher Pyle, formerly a captain in Army intelligence himself and presently a graduate student at Columbia. Writing in the Washington Monthly (January and July, 1970), Pyle documents the collection, computerization, storage, and analysis of purely domestic intelligence by the U. S.

...major gamble of the new season is the Jim Nabors Hour (CBS). Nabors, who, as Corner Pyle, USMC, had the second-highest-rated show last season, is venturing into variety. Those who can stand Jim will discover that he has a big baritone voice in addition to the familiar grits-eating grin and the stage-rustic accent. For those who can't, the Jim Nabors Hour will be only as entertaining as its guests...
