Two Democrats who helped win the Cold War and support an active, pro-freedom American foreign policy, Tom Donahue and Morris Amitay, are the subject of my column this week. It appears in the New York Sun under the headline, "Celebrating Two Heroes of the Cold War Who Freed Millions from Communism."
I didn't mention it in the column, but I came to know both these men while serving as the Washington correspondent of the Forward from 1995 to 1997. They were both extremely gracious and generous with their time and help, which is noteworthy given they were both senior figures at the time and I was a young journalist new to Washington and to the labor and foreign policy beats.
