Doug: "I remember that time - it was a sad thing. But my question about post-1937 was real - what did happen? Anyone know?"

[WS:] My inclination is to look into socio-demographic changes taking place after WWII (that there was no left mobilization *during* the war is no-brainer.) Specifically, the dismembering of working class communities through suburbanization. Elaine Tyler May ('Homeward Bound") cites Nixon as saying that the housing construction project would defeat communism in the US.
