I've read it, TB. It was an eye-opening book, to say the least. But it wasn't nearly as good as the article a friend of mine wrote about the Rosenthals wink.

PB,I met Roberts in 2002, soon after his book was published, when he gave a talk at Kean College in Union NJ. Nice fellow. He's four years younger than I and grew up in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, just a few blocks from where I grew up in Brownsville. Nice fellow, but absolutely intransigent on the Rosenbergs' (not Rosenthals') guilt. I go with your friend's article. wink


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
