garbler

In the early 1960's a respected officer named Paul Garbler became station chief, under the cover of assistant naval attache.

That may not have been a bad thing, since it allowed a pedestrian orator and syntax garbler to transform himself into another Daniel Webster, at least in memory.

Mr. Garbler was a decorated Navy dive-bomber pilot in the Pacific during World War II.

Suspicion Upon Suspicion A friend told Mr. Garbler that his career had dimmed because he, too, was under suspicion as a mole.

Mr. Garbler was compensated by the C.I.A. in the 1980's for the damage done to his reputation by Mr. Angleton.

Mr. Garbler returned to C.I.A. headquarters, his star on the rise until 1966, when his promotion to head the agency's clandestine operations in Europe inexplicably fell through.

Under this statute, Mr. Karlow, Mr. Kovich and Mr. Garbler all received financial settlements and letters clearing their names.

Paul Garbler, the C.I.A.'s first station chief in Moscow, who also received a payment from the agency, spent years in professional exile after he was suspected of being a mole.

Mr. Kovich and Mr. Garbler hired lawyers who lobbied Congress for a compensation bill, which was signed into law in October 1980 by President Jimmy Carter.

A High Cost in Pain Even so, the mole hunt had cost Mr. Karlow, Mr. Garbler and Mr. Kovich their reputations and damaged their careers.

Another development, a sorting machine and 'garbler', first installed for the Dutch Central Bank, sorted good used banknotes from bad and bundled the good while shredding the bad, a task that formerly required a staff of thousands.

Richard Kovich, a C.I.A. officer who had handled a number of major cases, also fell under suspicion, as did Paul Garbler, who had served as the agency's first chief of station in Moscow in the early 1960's.

Another target, although his name did not begin with K, was Paul Garbler, a former C.I.A. Moscow station chief, who, according to Mr. Wise, was exiled to a position in Trinidad without being officially charged or allowed to face his accusers.

In 1969, Flanagan was one of the winners of a TV playwriting competition run by the Observer newspaper and ITV's Saturday Night Theatre with "The Garbler Strategy", a satire on management theory that starred Leonard Rossiter.

March c.1510, Hugh Denys is described as "Esquire for the Body, Gauger in Bristol, one of the Ushers at the Receipt of the Exchequer, Ulnager in Counties Oxford and Berks., Grocer and Garbler(sic) of London".
