...despite some valid insights into the realities of a welfare recipient's daily existence, reading A Welfare Mother is an excrutiatingly frustrating experience. The text ambles through external description without dropping any clues to the humanity behind the name Carmen Santana. It is written as a newspaper article, in crisp, clear, objective, unemotional prose, and from start to finish the journalistic facade never cracks...

...period after mid-1936 when he last claimed to have seen Chambers.

...acutely conscious with each sentence that I write that I am, with each sentence that I write, providing ever stronger grounds for the assumption that the context in which the article was written is valid. It is not valid. I was never told that "All Flesh" had been "accepted" by the Advocate. Hence I can hardly be labelled "irresponsible" for not telling them it had been accepted by Padan Aram. Och, I did not invite the rivetters in. I am reminded of Richard Nixon's political technique of discrediting opponents by, e.g., asking them to wriggle their...
