Ellen Ray, Co-Publisher of Covert Action Information Bulletin, Dies at 75 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The documentary filmmaker, publisher, journalist and activist Ellen Ray
has died at the age of 75. Ray was a co-publisher of the magazine Covert
Action Information Bulletin, which exposed CIA covert actions around the
world, publishing the names of hundreds of CIA agents. As a result, the
law changed, making it illegal. As head of Sheridan Square Press, she
published the memoir of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison,
which became the basis of Oliver Stone's Academy Award-winning movie,
"JFK." Ray is survived by her husband, attorney Bill Schaap.
