Hiss’s Indictment — Illegal?
Relevance: 32% Posted on: August 25, 2015
"Not Guilty as Charged: A Revised Verdict for Alger Hiss" By Robert L. Weinberg Whittaker Chambers accused Alger Hiss of having committed espionage, but the 1948 grand jury considering this allegation in 1948 could not charge him with that crime - even if its members believed him guilty of it. There was good reason for that. Doing so would have violated the statute of limitations which was put in place to protect the innocent, not to help the…
The Grand Jury Minutes
Relevance: 32% Posted on: August 26, 2013
Two grand juries heard Hiss case testimony: the first indicted Hiss on the last day of its existence (December 15, 1948).

Yalta: Modern American Myth
Relevance: 28% Posted on: February 4, 2013
By Alger Hiss (The Pocket Book Magazine, November 1955) America, lacking its own medieval and classical mythology, has compensated by creating rather more than its share of latter-day myths. Pocahontas, Ponce de Leon, Paul Bunyan, Barbara Fritchie, and dozens more - each period of our history and each region has its legendary figures. Tales of witchcraft in colonial New England have vied for popular favor with legends of piratical brutishness on the Spanish Main. It…

Relevance: 26% Posted on: December 13, 2015
The 1978 publication of Allen Weinstein's Perjury: The Hiss-Chambers Case was seen by many members of the press and other reviewers as the final word on the case, a scholarly demonstration that Alger Hiss was guilty as charged.
