"...Sue Coe's Needs of the State depicts Truth in the electric chair surrounded by shadowy figures of the Rosenbergs, Einstein, Lillian Hellman, W.E.B. Du Bois, and other witchhunt targets, while rays from two gas chamber showerheads spray down on the chair. The dark space these figures inhabit, which resembles a torture chamber, is overlooked by people such as J. Edgar Hoover, Judge Kaufman, Senator McCarthy and Roy Cohn, and the chief inquisitor of the Spanish Inquisition Torquemada, who hold electric lines leading to the chair."
