When “An Expensive Education”, a novel by Nick McDonell ’06-’07 came out this summer, Harvard was, once again, fictionalized and seen anew through the eyes of a recent graduate...
...Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer and rising Justice Department star J. Edgar Hoover took on a "red menace" of radicals, anarchists and Bolsheviks. By 1920, the pair had arrested up to 10,000 alleged subversives. (Most cases were thrown out.) With the onset of the Cold War, fears flared anew.
