"A chicken in every pot, an icepick in every Trot."
Hey, that's a line in a poem by, "Ray O. Light, " so obscure only inveterate readers of the classified ads on the old (NY) Guardian will remember who he is. He shows up on a Canadian website Chris Doss should peruse, Compass, if memory serves. Apologetics for Uncle Joe.
Carrol's point, I agree with. SF DSA has members that spent decades in the CPUSA. Tim Wohlforth, Tim Sears and I marched with a bunch of CCDS'ers recently.
