Doug, re: twinkling It's sort of interesing that you moved from right to left. The usual pattern, seen from numerous communists who ended up as neo-cons, is to go from left to right. So your like the anti-Sidney Hook/Norman Podhoretz/Irving Kristol. There were a group of smart National Reviewers in the 1960s who moved to the left: Garry Wills, Joan Dideon, John Leonard, and (a bit eccentrically) Guy Davenport. Are there any other cases of people going from right to left?
-In my country I know three persons who were integralists (our local version -of fascism) in the 30´s and then turned to left. D. Hélder Câmara, former -Archbishop of Recife from 60-80´s, one of the most important priests from -the left wing of Catholic church in Brazil, Alceu de Amoroso Lima, a -progressive catholic intelecual and Santiago Dantas, a center left politician -in the 60´s.
