thread_title: Statement about Sacco, or Vanzetti?

message: I read about this some time ago, and I remember Felix Frankfurter's critique of Thayer's opinion in the case. Specifically, I recall that he said Thayer's legal reasoning was just plain false, and either the judge was an idiot or was finding excuses for being blatantly anti-Italian and anti-radical. And then there's an assortment of public statements which I read but cannot source (because I don't have the original text with me), so these need to be found. Right now, it's just too heavily weighted in Thayer's favor. Lockesdonkey (talk) 00:03, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:William Christian Bullitt Jr.

message: From a Harper's article, Stabbed in the Back!, by Kevin Baker:
A growing chorus of right-wing voices now began to excoriate our wartime diplomacy. Their most powerful charge, one that would firmly establish the Yalta myth in the American political psyche, was the accusation that our delegation had given over Eastern Europe to the Soviets. According to “How We Won the War and Lost the Peace,” an essay written for Life magazine shortly before the 1948 election by William Bullitt—a former diplomat who had been dismissed by Roosevelt for outing a gay rival in the State Department—FDR and his chief adviser, Harry Hopkins, were guilty of “wishful appeasement” of Stalin at Yalta, handing the peoples of Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Baltic states over to the Soviet dictator.
and, two paragraphs later,
Just how he had accomplished this was never detailed, but it didn't matter; specificity is anathema to any myth. Bullitt and an equally flamboyant opportunist of the period, Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce, offered a more general explanation. The Democrats, Mrs. Luce had already charged, “will not, or dare not, tell us the commitments that were overtly or secretly made in moments of war's extermination by a mortally ill President, and perhaps mortally scared State Department advisers.”
(Hope that qualifies as fair use)

Talk:Ella Reeve Bloor

message: It's clear from the sources cited here that she was a champion of women's rights and liberation, and did so as a proud socialist and communist. But is there a source for her identifying as a feminist? She may be "remembered" as a feminist, but it would be good to see primary source evidence she actually was one (and if not, a stronger argument that she could be classified as such). Don't mean to nit-pick—feminism is a very broad, multi-tendency, middle-class movement that many socialists and communists don't identify with, even if there are often alliances and overlaps.
See p. 92-3 of her autobiography (the only mention of the term there), where Bloor is quite critical: "...she had the narrow feminist idea, which I never accepted, of working for women alone." SeamusConor (talk) 19:09, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Nathan Witt

message: As of March 15, 2014, the Nathan Witt entry included the following text:  Witt denied knowing "J. Peters" (ostensibly the head of the Soviet Union's political operations in the United States), Chambers, or Alger Hiss.
{cite news
| first = C. P.
| last = Trussell
| title = Pressman, Abt, Witt Refuse to Answer Spy Ring Questions
| publisher = New York Times
| date = 21 August 1948}} He did, however, identify "George Crosley" (a freelance magazine writer he'd known in 1934 and 1935) from a photograph. ("George Crosley" was one of Chambers' many aliases at the time Chambers was a member of the Communist Party.)  Whether intentional or accidental, these statements are highly misleading--and do not cite the NYT article accurately.  Witt never identified Chambers as Crosley:  Hiss did.  The article reads, "The committee is particularly anxious to question Mr. Peters because Mr. Chambers has testified that it was through Mr. Peters that he had met Mr. Hiss.  The latter has insisted that... Mr. Chambers, as "George Crosley," had presented himself..."  This is the only time that "Crosley" appears in the article.  
Further, the only person who has ever publicly identified Whittaker Chambers as George Crosley remains Alger Hiss.

Yerrik 26 February 2014
I went ahead and made the clarification in the Names section. Both names are in common use. The 1850 Statute uses the spelling Mayacmas to define the boundary of Sonoma County. The current Statute uses Mayacamas. The Board of Geographic Names has Mayacmas with Mayacamas as an alternate spelling. Pixpixpix (talk) 04:57, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Prehistoric vegetation 

message: Note on pronunciation and naming: The USGS naming "Mayacmas' certainly isn't a typo and is definitive, though many variations have been used over the years. The official spelling is a clue of the original pronunciation. The Wappo village namesake was Maiya'kma. The official name is Mayacmas. The current pronunciation with the emphasis Maya-CAHM-us places the emphasis on a vowel that was never there in most of the iterations of the name. My family has maintained a homestead in this range for 130 years, so I am reasonably confident based on family history as well as other sources. There was a article some years ago in the Press Democrat about older residents complaining of the change in pronunciation.
