I did a quick Google search and found that the Verona Papers indicate that indeed there were many Communists in poitions of power during the McCarthy era. But I really couldn't find much on the papers. Could you possibly provide a good link?

It would have been easier tif I hadn't made a typo in my original post.

Venona papers (or "Venona Project")...not Verona.

Hey, I'm barely awake here!

Here's your problem, they are the VENONA Papers, not Verona.

Do another Google search and get ready to click and download :-)

Or.... read them here. The CIA website Venona: Soviet Espionage

Actually the Verona papers predate the Venona papers by a large margin. I think they were written by some guy called Billy Shakespeare. :)
