Felicia Lee

2004

• May 24 -- "Inflammatory" Bill Cosby
It's hard for a liberal to offend the Times, but entertainer Bill Cosby's remarks at speech marking the 50th anniversary of Brown vs. Board of Education certainly "inflamed" Felicia Lee.

• April 20 -- "Controversial" to Claim Alger Hiss a Spy?
Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Felicia Lee report on a controversy over Bush's nominee for U.S. archivist Allen Weinstein: "He has long been controversial among historians, in part because of his conclusion in his 1978 book, 'Perjury: The Hiss-Chambers Case,' that Hiss was indeed a Communist spy." Actually, the only "controversy" about Hiss' guilt these days is among left-wingers.

• February 23 -- McCarthy-Stalin: Just Two Mean Joes?
Felicia Lee surveys the history of the left-wing magazine Dissent and makes this odd comparison: "Started by a group of New York socialists and intellectuals fed up with what they saw as rampant complacency in American thought, Dissent, a quarterly journal, was devoted to slaying orthodoxies on the right and on the left in an era dominated by Joseph McCarthy and Joseph Stalin."
