    There is a fascinating portrayal of Cohn in Kushner’s epic 2-part play, “Angels in America.” As a work of historical fiction, it has to be taken with a grain of salt. That said, his speech about having liver cancer -when he really had AIDS- because AIDS victims have “no clout” is quite compelling. Another powerful moment is when the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg, who continues to haunt him, helps another Jew recite Kaddish Yatom by his bedside.
