I have read most of those threads, which makes me think we have someone who has a whole bunch of info at his/her fingertips beyond being a mere amateur.Kinda like someone who may have been researching Communism in preparation for a book release.

The plethora of threads about this one authoress and the drumbeat on FR over every wee review are...hysterical and hyped.

The air is getting fetid around FR with all the Ann Coulter posts, like it's being.....created....

The Duranty,Rosenberg and McCarthy threads I was referring to were before the book release.Also a Gareth Jones thread.I don't care who someone is if they keep me up nights researching and reading on an interesting subject!I didn't have a clue who Emma Goldberg was..now I do.

I signed up when the sealed McCarthy transcripts were released in May. Had a hunch some conservatives would jump on him, rely on media accounts and not read the transcripts. I was correct in that.At that time I might have known, certainly assumed, Coulter was writing a book but had no idea McCarthy would be mentioned. A pleasant surprise. One of my first posts is below, very good I thought, but few read it. (A disappointment because the transcript is huge and cutting it down to even the size I did was a PIA). 05/17/2003:

Thirteenth Report of the Senate Fact-Finding Subcommittee on Un-American Activities--California

Been following this for a while too:

Open Letter to revoke Duranty's Pulizer on behalf of Gareth Jones (bad PR for the New York Times)

The Duranty story is not going away as much as Arthur Sulzberger would like it too. By the fall, it will be a bigger story than it is now.
