RE: "They should have used Alger Hiss' typewriter."
BWAHAHAHAHA. ROTFL
But this is a Dennis Miller style of joke with a very obscure reference and I'm probably the only one here that knows that you are refering to Whitacker (sp?) Chambers and the attempts by Hiss to claim that the pumpkin papers were forgeries.
You would be surprised how many Alger Hiss threads have been posted on FR over the years.
I have read most of the the accounts of the Chambers/Hiss proceedings, yet there are many freepers who know a lot more of them than I.
I remember when the Venona papers were made available there were lots of threads of the story.
