Pinko fellow traveller

Alger Hiss became a liberal hero, an innocent who was maligned by McCarthy’s obsession. This view persisted despite persuasive evidence of his treachery. Academic chairs were set up in his honour. But this new book, having looked at all the fresh evidence, is damming. The files show that after the Yalta conference Hiss was secretly awarded the order of the Red Star during a visit to Moscow.

A true Hero of Planet Pepe. Ulululululu.
