...fought for progressive ideals in nearly every battle, on nearly every front, for over two decades. Whether singing for the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in Spain, for union organizers and strikers all through the United States, or for Rosenberg sympathizers in New York City, Robeson lent his voice, his heart, and his intellect to forces combating repression wherever and whenever he could...
...dead." Fussell reduces the whole problem to this: it's not that war is indescribable, but that it's "nasty," and this contradicted the sensibilities of the times. The war's nastiness, certainly contradicted the sensibilities of the high culture Fussell embraces. His favorite poem, for instance is, Isaac Rosenberg's "Break of Day in the Trenches," because of its pastoral resonances. And in his clever pastiche on "The characteristic pastoral homoerotic tenderness of Great War British male love," centering around public school graduates, he ignores the relationship between men in the Other Ranks, and their heterosexual practices...

(Douglas had a son and a daughter by his first wife.) The last and most serious impeachment move, led by then House Minority Leader Gerald Ford...
However, gauging from past articles and statements to the press on the Rosenberg question, Allen Weinstein is apparently going to be one of the "liberals" Michael Meeropol criticized. Weinstein has said in the past of the Rosenbergs, "I tend to think they were Soviet agents, but of a more minor sort than the government claimed." As for Hiss, Weinstein has given no concrete indication of the stance he will take. But in an Esquire Magazine article this month, he did accuse former President Nixon of deliberately lying about and distorting his own personal role in the Hiss case. Weinstein demonstrates...
