Ralph Ginzburg was a liar. Telling someone they have one a sweepstakes, when no sweepstakes actually existed is called lying. There's no other word for it. Using that person's personal information for self enrichment through a huge mailing list just makes it more egregious. Ralph Ginzburg used his intelligence and ingenuity to exploit and undermine the very freedoms he professed to defend. If this is the legacy left to us by a 60's radical, it's a very sad one indeed.
