Sisterhood of Spies, by Elizabeth P. McIntosh (Dell Publishing Pub. March 1999 ISBN-13: 9780440234661 365pp

Synopsis

The daring missions and

cloak-and-dagger skullduggery of America's World War II intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), are well documented and have become the stuff of legend.

Yet the contributions of the four thousand women who made up one-fifth of the OSS staff have gone largely unheralded. Here for the first time is a chronicle of their fascinating adventures, told by one of their own. A seasoned journalist and veteran of sensitive OSS and CIA operations, Elizabeth McIntosh draws on her own experiences and interviews with more than a hundred other OSS women to reveal some of the most tantalizing stories and best-kept secrets of the war in Europe and Asia.

McIntosh weaves intimate portraits of dozens of remarkable women into the storied development and operation of the OSS in the 1940s. Along with famous names like Julia Child and Marlene Dietrich, readers will discover such intrepid agents as Amy "Cynthia" Thorpe, who seduced a Vichy official and stole naval codes from the French embassy; Virginia Hall, who earned a Distinguished Service Cross for her work with the French resistance running an underground railroad for downed fliers; and others who recruited double agents, pioneered propaganda and subversion techniques, and tracked the infamous Nazi commando Otto Skorzeny.

Filled with previously unpublished photos, this entertaining account is a historic contribution to the literature of World War II and the culture of intelligence operations. end/pd

Despite the dubious photo and the commercial interests of the alleged discoverers, the Bigfoot claim drew interest from Australia to Europe and even The New York Times.

Biscardi said the DNA samples may not have been taken correctly and may have been contaminated, and that he would proceed with an autopsy of the alleged Bigfoot remains, currently in a freezer at an undisclosed location.

DNA is of a human and a squirrel.

Are you a Capita? Well the governances of the human species thinks you are. This search for Sasquatch that comes home with a teenager's mentality is worth so much in conspicuous material consumption that the carbon footprint must be akin to: 100 Sasquatch scats, who by the way turned out once again to be a rubber suit in a freezer box Hoax. *groan*

UPDATE ~ UPDATE ~ UPDATE
According to early reports, photos of Julia Childs' freezer were not allowed to free press until tonight. Tonight those images have been released. Read the whole article HERE.... MooPig is flabbergasted that so much revelation is presented about Julia Child's secret life as Spy and possibly as BigFoot's Mother...

Also a photograph of the body was to be released, but a mistaken uploading and premature release of the photograph tonight on the Searching for Bigfoot, Inc. website has rushed that timetable.

I, Loren Coleman, author of The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates and Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America, was given an exclusive first look at the body, via an early email delivered photograph today. With the mistake at the Biscardi site, I have now been given full permission to post this here tonight.

There is strong evidence that Julia Childs is BigFoot's Mother

Or, Am I just another member of the Liberal Press?

Working now off two very consequential events, I am making a reach into the annals of Scrooge-like past ghost encounters of the strangest kind. Please bear with me in my obvious mental fit of free association. I may be on to something really big.

Julia Childs, aka McWilliams, according to previously top-secret records released by the National Archives on Thursday.
Julia Child, Others Part of Spy Network By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE and RANDY HERSCHAFT, AP posted: 33 MINUTES AGO

"... Chef and author Julia Child, here in her Cambridge, Mass., kitchen in 1992, worked as a spy for the Office of Strategic Services -- the precursor to the CIA -- during World War II. The government has released secret files on Child and 24,000 other OSS spies. Click through the gallery for other notable names.

Child was not yet married and was applying for the job under her maiden name, McWilliams, according to previously top-secret records released by the National Archives on Thursday. She was hired in the summer of 1942 for clerical work with the intelligence agency and later worked directly for OSS Director William Donovan, the personnel records show.

Details about Child's background and nearly 24,000 other OSS employees are revealed in the newly released documents, withheld from public view as classified records for decades by the CIA.

The 750,000 documents identify the vast spy network managed by the OSS, which later became the CIA. President Franklin Roosevelt created the OSS, the country's first centralized intelligence operation.

The OSS files offer details about other agents, including Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, major league catcher Moe Berg, historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and film actor Sterling Hayden.

Keep Your Mouth Shut, the rest of your life !! Shhhhh... mum's the word.

Other notables identified in the files include John Hemingway, son of author Ernest Hemingway; Kermit Roosevelt, son of President Theodore Roosevelt; and Miles Copeland, father of Stewart Copeland, drummer for the band The Police.

Some of those like Child on the list have been identified previously as having worked for the OSS, but their personnel records never have been available before. Those records would show why they were hired, jobs they were assigned to and perhaps even missions they pursued while working for the agency.

The release of the OSS personnel files unmasks one of the last secrets from the short-lived wartime intelligence agency, which for the most part was later folded into the CIA after President Truman disbanded it in 1945.

"I think it's terrific," said Elizabeth McIntosh, 93, a former OSS agent now living in Woodbridge, Va. "They've finally, after all these years, they've gotten the names out. All of these people had been told never to mention they were with the OSS."
