The second Red Scare continues: While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Korea, “champion[ing] liberty wherever the tyranny of communism is the aggressor,” the new york Board of Prisons, on behalf of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, executes Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, for espionage.

       NOTE: The most damaging evidence against Ethel came from the perjured testimony of David and Ruth Greenglass, her brother and sister-in-law.  Another witness against the Rosenburgs, Harry Gold, had been coached by the prosecution for 400 hours before testifying.
