Was Alger Hiss Guilty A Buckley Commentary Review
William F Buckley Jr argues that belief in guilt or innocence hinges on sensational theories about Oswald, the Kennedys, and others. He highlights Irving Younger's Commentary piece Was Alger Hiss Guilty as a dry, factual examination of ten contradictory evidentiary points. The essay discusses rug provenance, cash transfers, car titles, and the typewriter as key proofs, concluding the case hinges on the established link between Priscilla Hiss and Chambers documents.
