Last paragraph:

While at the State Department, Hiss attempted so passionate a recruiting of potential Soviet recruits at cocktail parties, that his Moscow-based handlers had to reprimand him. Posing as a representative of American interests at Yalta, Hiss took the opportunity to meet in secret with his Soviet controllers and receive the Order of Lenin medal. In his final days at State, Hiss tried to obtain secret atomic information that was not within the purview of his office.

Yes, it was while he was on the trip to Yalta that he was awarded the Order of Lenin... on the same trip with FDR!

What a frightful thing to want to be on the same side as Lenin, in anything.

And in an article commemorating the anniversary of the death of Hiss, the New York Times still had to claim his guilt was still in question.

Our media is always spinning for the left.
