On the Right

New York, June 12—On Friday, June 10, CBS played a stunning documentary called The CIA’s Secret Army. It is perhaps the most ambitious thing of the kind ever undertaken, and treats the gravest themes in recent American history. Although in a crucial respect tendentious—it is studiously sympathetic to Fidel Castro —it is otherwise unsparing in its exposures. In fact, if there are leading bad-men in the two-hour documentary they are, by the lights of CBS, none other than John F. and Robert Kennedy. Itisasif the Vatican had released a historical study the villains of which were Saints Peter and Paul.

Here, boiled down, is the narrative according to CBS.
