EVERYBODY should already know that folks who picked Alger Hiss over Chambers made a really serious mistake. Hiss didn't have any American interests at heart ~ only those of the Communist party politboro in Moscow.
When it comes to treachery or espionage best bet is to step back and see what they got first, but I must confess to a bias ~ guys who say they stole stuff and head for the Chicoms got some real 'splainin to do!
