After a few minutes of uneasy conversation, Weinstein told Hiss: "When I began working on this book four years ago, I thought I would be able to demonstrate your innocence, but, unfortunately, I have to tell you that I cannot; that my assumption was wrong." Hiss shifted slightly, looked beyond Weinstein and said: "I'm not surprised." Later he added: "I've always known you were prejudiced against me." When the meeting ended, Weinstein told...
Before Chambers' charges of espionage cut him down, Hiss had seemed headed for a great future; some associates even thought he was a potential Secretary of State. One of the New Deal's bright young men, he worked briefly for the Agriculture Department and the Nye committee, which was investigating the arms manufacturers of World War I, and then joined the State Department.

Billy gets right down to business. "Come out Virginia, Don't let me wait/ You Catholic girls start much too late," he sings in his bruised tenor, his memory for details ("You got a nice white dress and/ a party on your confirmation") as sharp as his point...
