and colleagues in academia.

The last paragraph is the kicker, isn't it? It so happens I had a friend who the FBI harrassed in the McCarthy years. He was very young but held an important news job and the FBI kept coming around, messing with his chances for promotion. He consequently went into business for himself and made millions. Best Commie revenge ever; beat 'em at their own game.

People still talk about Adele Martin in Chelsea.

And can you imagine their hysteria over Robin Hood? Just like fascists of today.
