I.F. Stone on Socrates and Why He Was Put To Death

     Study carefully  the
article by I.F. Stone on Socrates. Don't neglect to double-check
his quotations -- the hyperlinks have some of them.

     Then, write 300 words summarizing, in your own words,
Stone's thesis: (a) why did the Athenians condemn Socrates to death?
and (b) why did Socrates' defenders, Plato and Xenophon, obscure what
the real reasons were?
