Boston Globe
On June 22, 1971, the Boston Globe became the third US newspaper to publish the Pentagon Papers, which were provided by a source who called himself "Mr. Boston." Retired Globe editor Matthew Storin writes: "Two editors were instructed to stand by telephone booths in Cambridge and Newton. The Newton 'drop' was the fruitful one, and Tom Ryan, national news editor, walked triumphantly into the Globe with a red plaid zipper suitcase full of Pentagon Papers excerpts. The Globe produced four front page stories and four inside pages of stories and texts the next day."
