The New York Times obituary of Stalinist folk-music figure Irwin Silber fits the pattern, Ronald Radosh writes: "Every time an American Communist or leftist dies, you can count on one thing: the New York Times will run a major obituary, and it will be misleading, incomplete, or very favorable to their life and record."
