The Science of Spying, marked the Arrival of Bob Rogers as a field Reporter Producer. The Program aired May 4, 1965, and tracked the Roots of US Covert Operations back to the 1950’s, providing a stark Account of Clandestine Initiatives in a time before Public Disclosures, Congressional Investigations, and Hollywood Movies made the 1970’s a difficult time to be an American Spy. The “Pentagon Papers,” the Pike and Church Committees, and Thrillers such as Three Days of the Condor eventually revealed the CIA’s Complicity in Assassination Plots and International Meddling, which Yates and Rogers had already seen up close. NBC Management stood firm when The Science of Spying attracted criticism. And Representatives from Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn (BBD&O) screened it and advised their Client BF Goodrich Company to withdraw. BBD&O issued a Statement saying the Program violated the Goodrich Advertising Policyin that it treats a Controversial Public Issue in a way which may do harm to the Government of the United States?NBC countered that the Documentary “fell within the Broad Outlines of the Program Policy originally submitted to and accepted by the BF Goodrich Agency, BBD&O. “The CIA watched the Program and tracked subsequent Reactions in the National Press. Viewers wrote to President Johnson complaining NBC News had given America’s Enemies Negative Propaganda. Yates may have anticipated some Adverse Reactions to the Program, but he never expected to be frightened by what he discovered.”
