Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy. Or was he? Back in the 1930s and 1940s so much was going on, it's hard to tell. Nevertheless, the Alger Hiss soy case is one of America's enduring tales of cold war espionage. This story has special appearances by the HUAC, a prosecution by Richard Nixon, evidence called the Pumpkin Papers and a truly inconclusive ending. Much like seemingly everything these days, we'll probably never know the truth.
