It is truly remarkable to see so many of my old Communistsupporting friends still around. Kirtley Mather. for example. he was one of the sponsors of the very first Communist front organizations I joinedthe Cambridge Youth Councilin 1940. And Harlow Shapleyhavent seen him since he fronted for us at a Progressive Party meeting in 1947. I first met him as a fellowfellow traveler back in 1942 In the Joint AntiFascist Refugee Appeal front. Dozens of others I knewin American Youth for Democracy. the National Council for American Soviet Friendship. the Civil Rights Congress. It is most peculiar. while I was a "member" of the Communist criminal conspiracy. we got along fine.
