For a brief but fairly thorough introduction to the still controversial Hiss Case [ the Hiss people still maintain that he was framed by the remanufacture of an old manual typewriter ], the Wikipedia is a good place to start
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alger_Hiss ].
For more extensive and thorough information, go to [http://homepages.nyu.edu/~th15/home.html ], a New York University web site that covers the case very extensively from the Hiss viewpoint.
