The Pumkin Papers

What can anyone tell me about the Pumkin Papers?

several decades ago. Sorry, but I do not remember the details. Suggest you do a search on "Whittaker Chambers"

Hiss was accused of being a Soviet spy. Chambers produced several rolls of microfilm of documents that he claimed Hiss had passed to him in the 1930s from a hollowed-out pumpkin. The Hiss affair was a major milestone in the rise of Tricky Dick Nixon.

Just a shill for the MI-Complex, the red-hunting crook and his crew helped create the shtuff we endure today.

Here's a resource, GOOGLE cache as the original's gone kaput:


Tricky Dick bested Hiss in front of a huge audience

In this corner, accused Soviet spy Alger Hiss, the State Department’s Golden Boy. Taking on the Champ, the Ugly Underdog, Whittaker “Whatwuzzat?!” Chambers.

The first televised mudslinger between our respected political parties hit the tubes on Aug. 25, 1948. With Richard Nixon emceeing, what should have been a pre-C-SPAN yawner turned into a sordid splatterfest. On this reality show, the final jeopardy question asked if Hiss, a top adviser to FDR and Truman, could actually be a back-stabbing spy.

The left wing, representing liberal snoots and glad-handers, backed the brainy Hiss, a patrician heavyweight, star at Johns Hopkins and Harvard Law.

The right wing, representing born-again flag-wrappers and attended by Richard “I Am Not a Crook” Nixon, Red-Baiter Joe McCarthy and a few others, touted Chambers. Stumpy, jowly and sleazy, the GOP’s Great White Hope hyped the great Red scare.

Yet Chambers impressed the audience with his dogged determination and “just folks” sloth. His intimate acquaintance with Hiss included listing Al’s habits, nicknames and even the rare bird Hiss had spotted once along the Potomac.
