And Paulsen, the footnotes to the Klehr book on the CPUSA and left Congress pols are all from PWW. As one of the Trots on leftist_trainspotters just said if a Congressperson or their aide goes to a People's Weekly World banquet it's a pretty good sign that they are sympatico with the Party in PopFront mode. Which is the mode they've been in since Browder, disregarding their brief Fosterite turn after Gates faction was booted from NY State CP. (see Maurice Isserman book on transition from Old to New Left.)

The excellent Max Elbaum, "Revolution In The Air, " Verso (reviewed in the newest, "The Dynamic, " of the YCL, with typos, positive review) mentions a female Klehr in the Georgia Communist League. Sister of Harvey, I dunno. -- Michael Pugliese aka Harvey Matusow aka J.B. Matthews aka Sander Garlin aka Jack Hirschman aka Bob Avakian

"Without knowing that we knew nothing, we went on talking without listening to

each other. Sometimes we flattered and praised each other, understanding that

we would be flattered and praised in return. Other times we abused and shouted

at each other, as if we were in a madhouse." -Tolstoy
