Famed for its shimmering tree, Rockefeller Center harbors a hidden history beneath its public glamor. The FBI once operated inside 30 Rock as the ‘Importers and Exporters Service Company’ providing ‘backstopping’ for spies. Room 3603 was a WWII intelligence hub, and soon-to-be CIA chief Allen Dulles led operations one floor above Britain's MI6. So is it any surprise Moscow came snooping around?
