Beto Can Win: Steve Phillips; plus Dave Lindorff on Atom Spies
Beto’s strategy for winning the governorship of Texas focuses on organizing everywhere to massively boost Democratic voter turnout—the strategy Stacey Abrams has followed in Georgia. Steve Phillips explains how more than a million young voters of color will be eligible to vote in 2022 who were not old enough four years ago—when Beto first ran statewide and came within 214,921 votes of winning.
Also: discoveries about America’s atom spies: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed in June, 1953. We know that Julius did not give ‘the secret of the a-bomb’ to the Russians--that was the work of a couple of other people. And the FBI knew it at the time. Why did the FBI go after the Rosenbergs, instead of the person they knew was the real spy? His name was Ted Hall--a brilliant young physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project and gave the Russians detailed information about the plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki. The FBI investigated him, but never charged him with a crime. Now Dave Lindorff of The Nation has found out why.
