Dangerous To Know: Spy-Hunting British Journalist Chapman Pincher Dies At 100
The British newspaper the Telegraph offers an obituary of famed espionage author and journalist Chapman Pincher, who recently died at 100.
You can read the obituary and watch an interesting video of a still sharp 99-year-old Chapman Pincher being interviewed about today's events via the below link:

Note: I happen to be reading Chapman Pincher's Treachery: Betrayals, Blunders, and Coverups: Six Decades of Espionage Against America and Great Britain when I heard of his death.
Treachery is an amazing book. Not just his research, but that he could write such a difficult and long book in his late 90s.
