The Pentagon Papers




Registration Opens Nov 16


MCA Member Neil Adelman


Neil Adelman will speak about Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers. Ellsberg copied a secret government report on the Vietnam War. Nixon tried to stop its publication, culminating in a Supreme Court case. Ellsberg was then tried for espionage. Just as the Alger Hiss case began Nixon’s career, the Ellsberg case helped end it.

Was Ellsberg a hero or a traitor?

This will be Neil’s fourth talk on the great trials of the mid-20th century.
