NBC’s Today on Wednesday celebrated the photographs of Milton Rogovin, part of a growing crowd including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and a segment next month on CBS’s “Sunday Morning.” Don’t tell me part of the appeal of this story is the “Red Scare” angle. According to NBC’s Jim Dotson, Rogovin saw the street outside his optometrist office door “filled with the poor and unemployed, so he decided to speak out. That was dangerous in 1957.” Because Rogovin joined the Communist Party, who as NBC somehow suggests, promised America a utopia for the poor and unemployed, as demonstrated by the riches of the average Russian living with 20 other people in a hut. Even now, or perhaps most especially now, with the horrors of Soviet communism fading away, everyone can forget that joining the communists meant favoring imprisoning your fellow Americans in a 50-state concentration camp.
