  Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
  The mouse ran up the clock. 
  The clock struck one, 
  The mouse ran down, 
  Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
  WITHIN the hollow wall of an old brick mansion, away up near the roof, there lived a family of mice. It was a snug little home, pleasant and quiet, and as dark as any mouse could desire. Mamma Mouse liked it because, as she said, the draught that came through the rafters made it cool in summer, and they were near enough to the chimney to keep warm in winter-time. 
  Besides the Mamma Mouse there were three children, named Hickory and Dickory and Dock. There had once been a Papa Mouse as well; but while he was hunting for food one night he saw a nice piece of cheese in a wire box, and attempted to get it. The minute he stuck his head into the box, however, it closed with a snap that nearly cut his head off, and when Mamma Mouse came down to look for him he was quite dead. The story becomes better after this somber opening, trust me. Find out why those mice ran up that clock.

  Anatoliy Golitsyn: The Life and...

  Many people remain fascinated by stories about the Cold War, particularly the espionage that was covertly conducted across the globe by both sides. Indeed, from the beginning of the Cold War, there were hundreds if not thousands of spies positioned in each side’s governments. Some worked as double agents, while others worked to plant pivotal pieces of information or disinformation to persuade government officials within these warring countries. 
  Inevitably, some of the Cold War’s most shadowy actions involved trying to turn Soviet assets, whether for propaganda or intelligence purposes, but the Soviet system constantly had to worry about defections, as evidenced by the construction of the Berlin Wall in the early 1960s. That said, while the whistleblowers may be celebrated if they damage the public relations of an adversary, they can be controversial if they damage one’s own country, as evidenced by the polarizing reputations of individuals like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. 
  During Congressional testimony concerning President Kennedy’s assassination many years after Anatoliy Golitsyn’s defection, James Jesus Angleton claimed he was “probably without any question the most major defection since World War II as far as Soviet intentions, Soviet organization, and Soviet operations are concerned.” He would later become a voice for the Soviets’ disinformation strategy through his studies and his work as a KGB agent and with the CIA’s Counterintelligence Unit. Golitsyn became disenchanted with Moscow and the Soviet way of life after having spent his life protecting it. 
  Thanks to his schooling and training, Golitsyn had deep inside knowledge of the USSR’s (communist) strategy to rule the world. Angleton, the chief of the CIA’s Counterintelligence Unit, was a huge supporter and believer of Golitsyn’s ideas and theories.
