"On This Day in American History"

 Bet you didn't know this...

             On May 19, 1964, U.S. officials disclose the discovery of more than 40 hidden microphones inside the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The snooping devices, which were installed on floors where sensitive conversations were held, were likely to have been installed deep inside the walls when the embassy was leased to the U.S. in 1953. In response, the U.S. issued a strong protest to the Soviet government.
