...Moscow at the expense of the Boston taxpayers who are footing the bill for importing Pravda and Izvestia for the Boston Public Library." (Actually, the papers were financed from a private endowment.) The article told how Communists could lure children to the papers and fill their ears with translated propaganda. This story was part of the Post's effort to remove Russian-language newspapers from the Boston Public Library.
