Meeropol grew up with the story of the Rosenbergs, who were tried for espionage in 1951 and executed in 1953 for allegedly passing atomic weapons secrets to the Soviet Union. The Rosenbergs’ children, Michael and Robert Meeropol (who took the last name of their adoptive parents), have long held that the Rosenbergs were victims of the Red Scare and McCarthyism. Since the 1970s, the Meeropol brothers have publicly sought an acknowledgment from the US govt to that effect.

his is my grandfather Julius Rosenberg, and this is Julius and Ethel Rosenberg together,” says a blonde child in pigtails, pointing to family pictures in a home movie from the 1970s at the beginning of the new documentary Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story of Roy Cohn. “My father and uncle were around 10 and 6 when [their parents] were electrocuted.” The young girl is Ivy Meeropol, the film’s director; its subject, Roy Cohn, was prosecuting attorney in the Rosenberg trial.

Courts were not working. Protests were not possible. People were meant to stay indoors. Instead, some state governments used the lockdown to remove hundreds from their homes, ignoring a United Nations warning that such evictions could be a “potential death sentence”.

Kudos to @[email protected] for standing up for truth and raising this issue.

In the time of online classes, Northeast waits for a faint signal from a distant tower

Looking forward to visiting a salon after over two months of lockdown? Well, the Tamil Nadu government has made it mandatory for customers visiting spas, beauty parlours and salons to carry their Aadhaar cards from Tuesday. The government has introduced this measure to ease contract tracing.
