John Rettie

Cartmel John Alexander Rettie (November 24, 1925 - January 10, 2009) was a journalist who reported for The Guardian, Reuters, and the BBC World Service for nearly fifty years, covering some of the most critical events of the Cold War from the Soviet Union and Latin America. [1] He was one of a small number of Western journalist who reported directly from Moscow, and is credited as being the first to break the news of Nikita Khrushchev's Secret Speech to western news outlets.[2]
