Talk:Art Young

Seems Unlikely
“ Prosecutor Barnes, wrapped in an American flag and giving a moving speech, told a story of a dead soldier in France. This soldier, Barnes claimed, "is but one of a thousand whose voices are not silent. He died for you and he died for me. He died for Max Eastman. He died for John Reed. He died for Merrill Rogers. He demands that these men be punished."[5] Roused from his slumber by the impassioned speech, Young exclaimed, "What! Didn't he die for me too?" The beautiful oration successfully ruined, the second jury was unable to convict or acquit.”

Did the prosecutor really wrap himself in a flag?? This needs verifying.

Why did this reported interruption ruin the speech? This work seems to be tendentious POV. It is a contemporary source, certainly, but other accounts of this trial should be cited. 2601:647:5800:7D80:E562:1BB7:55D2:3EE8 (talk) 09:13, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Lenin
What was Young’s attitude to the Soviet dictatorship and its leader, Lenin? Very little account of Young’s thinking past his early days, this needs to be expanded. 2601:647:5800:7D80:E562:1BB7:55D2:3EE8 (talk) 09:13, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
