What do Jackie Kennedy, the Beatles, Albert Einstein, Gracie Allen, Thurgood Marshall, and Walter Winchell have in common?
Give up? They are all part of historical FBI records... though for a variety of different reasons. One had a background investigation for government service. One received extortion threats. One had open communist affiliations. One needed security for a family trip abroad. One actively helped FBI investigations. One tried to smuggle jewelry into the U.S. And not necessarily in that order. These documents were all taken from the FBI FOIA website.
