[Heer, Jeet (National Post)]

Well, Podhoretz has definately re-written his past in his various
autobiographies (George Packer had a good essay on this in Dissent a few
years back in a review of Ex-Friends) and Horowitz has similiar tendencies.
But I would say that Whittacker Chambers, for all his portentiousness and
verbal inflation, spoke the truth and was an honest monster.

I'm not sure I'd believe what three out of these four said.
Maybe Radosh.  --mbs
