The Long View.(survey: F.B.I. correspondence, and events that might have been averted)
Through the years with the FBI mailbag . . .
--From the division circular, Chicago office, May 16, 1924:
a couple of interesting characters by the name of Leopold and Loeb, who seem at least upon first observation to be up to some kind of unsavory activity, though what, specifically and exactly, is unclear. Both are of diminutive aspect, though one is clearly the brains of the duo. Suspicions of inverted activity gave this investigator pause, in addition to a peculiar conversation overheard in the local general supply store. Keep a jaundiced eye out for these two jokers . . .

-- A postcard from Honolulu, December 2, 1941:
A big "Aloha!" -- that's "Hiya!" in Hawaiian -- to everyone back in chilly Washington! The weather here is awfully swell, and we're all enjoying the sand 'n' surf. Bob Jr. has taken to riding the waves, Hawaii-style, while Ellen and little Ellie are both the perfect bathing beauties. Awful lot of Japanese around, though, taking pictures and drawing sketches and making little maps and counting battleships -- pretty annoying, actually. Thank God they all left this morning! In a hurry too! Guess they were hungry for Chop Suey! Say "aloha" to Director Hoover for me. Be back on the 17th!
