	Nuremberg trial records, papers of William Donovan
		William J. Donovan has been called "the father of American intelligence," but before founding the OSS, which was the predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency, he had already distinguished himself as a college football hero (he earned the name "Wild Bill" as a star quarterback at Columbia University), soldier, lawyer and politician.
		Donovan's activities during and after the war -- attempts to assassinate Hitler, dealings with spies of all (and no) loyalties, forays into the Vatican and Stalin's Russia, interrogating Nazi leaders, including Goering and Speer, taking testimony from victims of the Holocaust -- are still subject to debate by historians.
		Donovan kept them in the offices of the New York law firm of Donovan, Leisure, Newton and Irvine, of which he was a founding partner.

	Bill snafu turns off customers
		When she finally did get a bill for more than $1,400, not only did it include all the months' worth of back payments the company claimed she owed, but, Young said, it had not accounted properly for the payments she had made.
		Donovan pointed out that anyone with a bill too large to pay all at once should call the company to arrange a payment plan.
		Donovan described the problem as a "misprogramming'' of the billing system – a computer error – but said the company caught most of the 4,000 erroneous bills that were issued before customers received them.

		Donovan's cheerful nature and homespun yarns endeared him to all he came in contact with, as did his wife Donna, who had her own racing TV show in Baltimore.

	The Doughboy Center: Donovan: From Fighting Irishman to Spymaster
		Donovan, scouting all the way up to the wire and decked out in all his officer’s regalia to be identifiable to his men, calmly ran about the battlefield to check each company and buck up the men.
		Donovan himself was sent packing by fellow WWI vet Harry Truman (no Donovan admirer), but most of the general’s plans were put into action with the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency.
		Donovan, who intimately knew the hairline difference between a war crime and the horrors of war heaped on an officer, eschewed the hypocrisy that such prosecution would require of himself.

	Mark Riebling -- WEDGE: Donovan
		In 1924, Donovan had reviewed Hoover's statutory authority for tracking communists and found it lacking; when Hoover uncharacteristically buried a Donovan request for justification, Donovan had to hound him into a "paper confession" about the illegality of his subversives index.
		Donovan was a soldier-jock with a curious mind; he not only seemed to have stepped from Plutarch's tales of ancient heroes, but had actually read, dog-eared, and underlined them.
		Donovan sent his letter to the President on June 10; the move was a part of a carefully timed gambit, and coincided with a British intelligence mission, that very evening, into the White House.

	Irish Echo Online - Arts
		Donovan's ascension to the head of American intelligence operations during World War II began in 1940 when his friend in the British intelligence service, William Stephenson (aka, "Intrepid"), lobbied President Roosevelt to send him to London on a top-secret fact-finding mission.
		The latter correctly saw in Donovan the one man who could establish an American intelligence service that would be vital to any future U.S. role in the war (and, as a consequence, to the fate of Britain).
		Even before the office was created and Donovan named to head it, it was clear that some of his toughest enemies were in Washington, not on the battlefields of Europe, North Africa, and Asia.
