I thought that was what I said. Chambers was believed because he was an authentic defector. Hiss wasn't believed because he kept inventing implausible alibis.
A few years ago I read the biography “Whittaker Chambers” by Sam Tanenhaus. Tanenhaus is listed as “writer at large” for the New York Times. I assume he is a liberal. But I thought his book was very objective and leaves no doubt that all of Chambers revelations were true. Tanenhaus won the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction.

I must have misunderstood your post...when I read
"...Chambers stood at FDR's desk and told him Hiss wan an agent..." I thought you meant FDR and Chambers were speaking directly.
I knew what you meant, though. It was a telling conversation.
