Lepa Radić: Yugoslavia's 17-Year-Old Resistance Fighter

Wabash, Indiana. We've named this episode After the Hunt for the Red October, because it's like that, but instead of a Soviet submarine, the search is on for a powerful sleeper agent known to the U.S. government only as Dorothy. The year is 1981, and her network of associates has infiltrated the U.S. military to the extent that the Department of Defense has concerns over national security, both at home and abroad. TIMELINE 1854: and I realized, they must have felt some of what I had. 1939: Oz had a lukewarm reaction. 1956: it aired for the first time on television, on CBS. 1976: enlisted gay men had been identified and discharged from the military during a nationwide crackdown. WHY THIS MATTERS The story of Wabash is a reminder that the events that shaped America didn't always happen in the biggest cities. What unfolded here left marks on the community that are still visible today. The full story is more complicated, and more human, than the version most people know.
