McLEAN, Va. - Broadcaster Paul Harvey, who at the peak of his career reached 24 million listeners, worked closely with the FBI over several decades, frequently giving the bureau advance copies of his scripts and columns. Harvey's FBI file, released to USA TODAY under a Freedom of Information Act request, illuminates how the FBI cultivated one of the nation's most popular media figures by not only providing flattery from its most prominent officials but also by secretly putting words in his mouth. The file also reveals that early in his career, Harvey was investigated by the bureau after he was arrested while trying to climb over a fence at the Argonne National Laboratory, a nuclear weapons research site near Chicago.
