My Father was a spy, sons conclude with regret
Who:Robert and Michael Rosengerg
What:Their parents are being put to death. When:
Friday, June 19, 1953Where:Sing Sing
Why:They were activist parents
How:In the 1990s, the government released decrypted wartime Soviet cables that further implicated their father. Then their uncle, David Greenglass, who was an Army machinist at Los Alamos, N.M., where the atomic bomb was made, and was recruited by Julius Rosenberg as a spy, admitted that he fabricated the most damning testimony against their mother, but insisted that Julius was guilty of the formal charge, conspiracy to commit espionage.
Identify the lead-They were the most famous orphans of the cold war, only 6 and 10 years old in 1953 when their parents were executed at Sing Sing for delivering atomic-bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. Then they were whisked from an unwanted limelight to urban anonymity and eventually to suburban obscurity.
Re-write the lead using your own words.
Michael and Robert parents were executed at Sing Sing for delivering a bomb to the soviet Union in 1953. This made them the most famous orphans of the cold war for this.
