For what it’s worth, I was friendly with Rabinwitz’s son Peter and daughter Joan when growing up in the 1950’s. They were far left in high school. I don’t know what became of Joan.
Peter and his wife Nancy both teach at Hamilton College. Nancy was involved in an outrage a few years ago when she invited a terrorist convicted of bombings and other crimes to be a part of an “artist and activist in residence” program.
Did you argue politics? Ever get to the crimes of Stalin?
