Roll Away the Stone

"Eric Alterman, a onetime Stone protégé, called the Stone-KGB stories 'smears,' 'phony,' and 'pathetic,' dismissing the whole contretemps as 'an almost entirely bogus controversy over whether Stone ever willingly spied for the Russians or cooperated with the KGB in any way. He did not.'
"KGB archival documents tell a different story."

In Commentary, Harvey Klehr, John Earl Haynes, and Alexander Vassiliev reveal that I. F. Stone worked for the Soviet Union during the 1930s.

Eric Alterman responds in The Daily Beast. (And here in The Nation.)

As does Todd Gitlin in The American Prospect.

David Oshinsky in Slate tries to sum up.

And in the Los Angeles Times, biographer D. D. Guttenplan argues that Stone was the "first blogger."
