Peter Sommer noted recently that one of the earliest accounts
of NSA global electronic interception was published in a
1972 Ramparts magazine article, which we offer for a bit
of history:

James Bamford, Duncan Campbell, Nicky Hager and others
have confirmed and extended what was at the time viewed as 
the fanciful antiwar exaggeration of a young former NSA 
analyst, named Peter Fellwock, first known by the pseudonym 
Winslow Peck.

Bamford says in The Puzzle Palace that NSA elected to not
prosecute Fellwock in the hope that no one would believe his
astonishing claims of NSA ELINT-ing friends and foes alike.

Would anyone know where Peter Fellwock is now? Assuming
that the marvelous "Fellwock" is not a NSA-pseudo for "Peck."
