"Whittaker Chambers was born Jay Vivian Chambers and also known as David Whittaker Chambers[1] (April 1, 1901 – July 9, 1961), was an American writer and editor. After being a Communist Party USA member and Soviet spy, he later renounced communism and became an outspoken opponent later testifying in the perjury and espionage trial of Alger Hiss. Both are described in his book published in 1952 entitled Witness."

Good Lord!
Even Wiki manages to get it better than CSPAN!

It was the Prothonotary Warbler that cooked Hiss’ goose!

journalist M. Stanton Evans...

November 8, 2007-"M. Stanton Evans talked about his book, Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies, published by Crown Forum. The author argued that Senator Joseph McCarthy does not deserve the bad reputation he has been assigned by historians, and that Senator McCarthy was correct in his assessment of the threat posed by Communists in the United States during the so-called “Red Scare” and that his detractors knowingly cover up the extent of this threat. After his presentation he responded to audience members' questions."
