The year was 1943, World War was raging. Spies and saboteurs had infiltrated our country, establishing themselves as normal citizens and were busily (and invisibly) at work trying to destroy our ability to make war. This internal threat became known as "The Fifth Column" (a term from the 1938 Spanish Civil War and memorialized by Hemmingway’s book of the same name). Is there a "Fifth Column" in your agency?
