Richard Helms Dead at 89
Any baby boomer will best remember Helms as the CIA director fired by Nixon for refusing his request to block an FBI probe into Watergate. But this guy had a remarkable career, both inside and outside the intelligence agency.

There's a good biography of him:

Thomas Powers, The Man Who Kept the Secrets: Richard Helms and the CIA. New York: Pocket Books, 1981.
