From Alger Hiss to Hillary Clinton:

Republicans need to channel Nixon


The GOP could learn a lot from studying how Nixon handled Alger Hiss.



He was a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and Harvard Law. He served as a government lawyer and eventually took a post in the U.S. State Department. While serving as director of the Office of Special Political Affairs, he helped organize the creation of international organizations, like the United Nations, to oversee the reconstruction of countries devastated by the second World War, which included the establishment of a global financial system still in effect today.
Oh, and Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy.
He was exposed by senior Time magazine editor Whittaker Chambers, a former Soviet spy ringleader working in the nation’s capital, whose Christian moral sensibilities reawakened during the Soviet purges of communist dictator Joseph Stalin.
