National Archives releases list of names involved with OSS (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080813/ap_on_go_ot/spies_revealed)

Famed chef Julia Child shared a secret with Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg and Chicago White Sox catcher Moe Berg at a time when the Nazis threatened the world.

They served in an international spy ring managed by the Office of Strategic Services, an early version of the CIA created in World War II by President Franklin Roosevelt.

The secret comes out Thursday, all of the names and previously classified files identifying nearly 24,000 spies who formed the first centralized intelligence effort by the United States. The National Archives, which this week released a list of the names found in the records, will make available for the first time all 750,000 pages identifying the vast spy network of military and civilian operatives.

You could totally tell she had a tape recorder strapped to her back. The hunch was just a cover-up.

I imagine the sound of her voice alone could've been an effective, if cruel, interrogation tool.

I thought it was common knowledge that she worked for the OSS in Asia. There's a book, Sisterhood of Spies by Elizabeth P. McIntosh, that had several pages devoted to her.
