The current issue of North and South magazine has a striking image on its front cover. It's an old black and white high school class photo with some of the young boys' faces circled in red - under the headline "Enemies of the State?"
The author of the cover story is Wellington journalist Nicola Saker - and one of the boys highlighted in that photo is her dad. It turns out that not long after that picture was taken, Dorian Saker and some of his classmates fell under suspicion as suspected subversives.
But it was only when Nicola finally got her dad's official file from the SIS that it became clear the state surveillance of them went on for years.
