• 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."
