His story about his attempted nuclear whistleblowing is pretty amazing.
Aside from the Pentagon Papers he copied thousands of pages on US nuclear war doctrine, which was horrific. Decided to release the Pentagon Papers first, because he figured nobody would even care about them in the wake of the nuclear documents. Hid them in a black plastic bag on the edge of the town dump, then a freak storm washed that whole section of the dump down a hill. He and his brother spent a year looking for it and finally gave up.
He said his wife considered the storm a gift from God, because he certainly would have gone to prison for life if he'd released that stuff.
