When Ron Radosh was still to the left of Irving Howe, Irving would glance at Ron...well I'll look up the exact words from an interview with Michael Harrington in Socialist Review, July-August 1979, #46 issue.
Pg. 33, "My God I'm on the same committee with Irving Howe!"
Radosh autobio has an acct. of Howe, Meier and other Dissent editorial board members yelling at Radosh that his anti-Sandanista pieces would not be published in Dissent. Later, Radosh introduced Commandante Zero aka Eden Pastora of the FSLN and later of the Contra faction that didn't get CIA support, to a SDUSA convention.
