Carter, who joined Edwards in a successful effort to revoke the 1965 rule, no longer belongs to the Plains congregation and refused comment. His cousin Hugh, a deacon of the church, said that he felt sure the President was "very deeply hurt." Miss Lillian telephoned Edwards to tell him she was "broken-hearted...
...both a diplomatic duty and a sentimental journey for President Carter's mother.

Rather than dredging up inconsistencies in the trial transcripts or excoriating the witchhunters and their allies (as Lillian Hellman does in Scoundrel Time), he tries to build a case for the implausibility of Alger Hiss betraying his employers, his family and his country. It is his hope that some pieces in the puzzle called the Hiss case will fall into place and lead us to the conclusion, inevitably...
