Some of what I wrote to a Washington D.C comrade>(10,000 in San Francisco) ...I went, despite my qualms, about Workers World Party, with Thomas and two other Trot pals, David Walters and Adam Richmond, because I can't resist picking up more sectariana. The Spart I bought WV from didn't crack a smile over me using your Wankers Vice line. And he was just barely out of his teens so he surely was still in his peak wankin' days. Got into an argument with the two LaRoucheites. Nice conversation with the folks from Solidarity and Left Turn.Two weeks from now is the ISO initiated one. One last note, the IAC leaflet did not spell Socialist in Socialist Workers Organization correctly!
