Timeglider Software Outlines Rosenberg Spy Case

Posted by samzenpus on from the too-late-for-an-appeal dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Related to the previous story on Slashdot on the release of the Vassiliev Notebooks: the Cold War project has created a timeline on the Rosenberg spy ring (using Timeglider — a web-based, Flash-powered software for creating timelines), integrating the documentation from the Venona Intercepts, the FBI files related to industrial and atomic espionage, the Rosenberg trial papers and the Vassiliev notebooks in a easy-to-digest, complete picture of the evidence on the Rosenberg's involvement in atomic espionage. It can be accessed via the project's webpage. The use of Timeglider makes understanding the complex nature of the case and the newly available documentation more manageable."

    It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York.

    And it's almost identical to the 3+ year old Simile Timeline project, other than its dependence on Flash over Javascript.

    The Timeline sample project covers the Kennedy assassination, incidentally.

    But is that really what it boils down to when you prevent more deaths through dissemination of state secrets?

    Ok you lost me there. Arming Joseph Stalin with WMD is "preventing" deaths?

    Oh, right - I'm responding to a well-known troll account. Sorry, I usually pick up on this sort of thing. My bad.
