It should be no shocker that I agree totally with Roger about the Rosenbergs. But Roger, you might have missed this piece in last Sunday’s NYT Week in Review section where the paper lets the Rosenberg’s kids make the most sympathetic case for their parents. If memory serves this is not the first time the Times has played this game. They also did a fawning profile of Alger Hiss’ son. The technique is very clever because it allows the author to be more sympathetic to traitors out of deference to their children and the reader goes along with it.
