FBI Tracked Studs Terkel for 45 Years
-------------------------------------



Newly disclosed documents reveal the FBI tracked the renowned historian
and broadcaster Studs Terkel from 1945 to 1990 because the agency
suspected him of being a communist. The news was first reported by the
New York City News Service, a project of the CUNY Graduate School of
Journalism. The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer died last year at age
ninety-six.
