Win Magazine. Published weekly from New York by the War Resisters League, 1965-1983.

The War Resisters League, founded in 1923, was already well-established as a pacifist organization when the Vietnam War came along and gave them new life. "Win" magazine, now defunct, would occasionally publish material that no one else would touch.

Their March 1972 issue, for example, published the complete collection of files that were stolen from the FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania on March 8, 1971. The Movement burglars, who were never caught, mailed a set of the documents to "Win," and the FBI's "Cointelpro" (counterintelligence program) was on the defensive at last. Most mainstream publications would have nervously called their law firm before considering something this hot, and that would have been the end of the story.

The September 18, 1975 issue was devoted to a piece on Operation Ohio by editor Maris Cakars and former Phoenix Program operative and CounterSpy co-founder Barton Osborn. Operation Ohio was an assassination program which the Counter-Intelligence Corps (CIC), Naval Intelligence, and Air Force Intelligence carried out through the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) during and after World War II. Control of OUN later passed to the CIA.
