FBI Wants Anderson's Files

The Chronicle of Higher Education is reporting that the FBI wants access to the archive of Jack Anderson, the late reporter known for his extensive contacts and secret sources. The 200 or so boxes that comprise the archive are currently at George Washington University's library, pending a transfer of ownership by the Anderson family. The Feds want to go through the boxes and remove whatever they don't like, an idea that doesn't sit well with the family or the University.

Were he alive today, Jack Anderson "would probably come out of his skin at the thought of the FBI going through his papers," said Kevin N. Anderson, the journalist's son.
