...closeted and stricken with AIDS; the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg (Meryl Streep), whom Cohn, by pulling strings, got executed for treason; and an angel (Emma Thompson)--the spiritual avatar of America.

His prospects appear equally bleak this year. Last month the Salient ran a banner editorial headlined “Repeal Jason Lurie” in reaction to his muckraking against...
