Tinker, Tailor, Stoner, Spy

When 21-year old college dropout Christopher Boyce got a job as a clerk at the TRW Defense and Space Systems complex in Redondo Beach, he was given access to some of the country’s biggest government secrets.

Their story lived on in the 1985 film “The Falcon and the Snowman,” but their friendship had a much shorter shelf life.
