NATIONAL Gov. file of avowed liberal, late author Terkel surfaces that the NYCity News Service posted on its Web site after obtaining it under a Freedom of Information Act request. That's just one of the revelations contained in a thick FBI file The release of the file marks the most extensive look into Terkel's work and activities as viewed by federal authorities, particularly by the FBI when it was headed by J.
