...Washington Post and Times-Herald Publisher Graham's "men of good will were embarrassed by the Hiss case." Does being "men of good will" necessitate defending Hiss against Nixon before the facts were in (like Acheson and Stevenson), and then, after Hiss was proved a perjurer and traitor, continue attacking Nixon because he "used the subversion issue as a political weapon"? Maybe such subtle Ivy League logic is too refined for us coarse Westerners; maybe that's why New Dealish defenders of the common man, as Graham plus A.D.A. plus Stevenson, are rightly distrusted by the common...
...Greenglass (15 years) provided some intriguing marginal notes to the history of U.S. treason. Admitting that the Russians had done "a superb psychological job" on him, onetime Philadelphia Chemist Gold, 45, drew snickers in the Washington hearing room when he debunked the "trash" written to explain why he turned traitor.

The army is now formally absolved from blame for the loss of millions of lives and countless treasures in the first phase of the war. The party is maneuvering to avoid blame by holding the mad Stalin responsible, but there is still no certainty that it will be successful in doing...
Hugo does, however, make a decision. In the meantime the Party decides that Hoederer was not a traitor, but a hero--leaving Hugo as a man alone. The irony of the end reflects upon the Party and Daniel--the corrupt and the native, and not upon Hoederer. His brand of opportunism was never effectively contradicted. Sartre condemns the Party, but not the Communist...
