Notes and topics

BR calls attention to a review of Unarmed Victory by Robert Conquest in The Spectator of April 5.

BR cites "quotations out of context juxtaposed in such a manner as to create an impression often opposite to that of the intention of the statement."

BR lists inaccuracies concerning SeƱor Haya de la Torre, knowledge of Americans lying about missiles in Cuba, an inference that Americans had "faked" evidence of missiles, Corliss Lamont being a Communist, the theme of Norman Thomas in Lamont's Freedom Is as Freedom Does, and the acceptance without check of a book on the Rosenberg Case "shot through with error and misrepresentation". BR asks for these facts to be published.

Also present are 3 more TL(CAR).
