>>Chambers didn't "redeem himself". He said whatever he thought would help him. Maybe it was true, maybe not.

That's total nonsense. Chambers put himself in jeopardy! He brought Hiss to the attention of the FBI and Congress! He was the highly paid and respected editor of Time magazine at it zenith! He gained nothing personally and in fact lost much, including the security of his job.

As I've said (just to remind you; you seem to have a rather short attention span) I have no informed opinion of Hiss's guilt or innocence. Unlike you, Who Knows All Things.

If you have no informed opinion, then it certainly hasn't stopped you from stating them! Read a book for change, you can learn something about it.

I do, though, confess a sneaking admiration for someone who didn't quail when the inquisitors gave a few turns to the thumbscrews.

No doubt explains your affinity for the Clintonistas.

Janice ,, I get the distinct feeling you wouldn't like someone snooping into your life. You continually make reference to the indecency , indignity, unlawfulness etc. of it and now you admire people who resist it. I get the feeling this is based on more than an idealistic viewpoint.

I know what you did last summer Janice.. <g>
