Heck, it was POLITE, if anything.

Well, thanks for the new perspective. My understanding was that this guy did whatever to turn up a new commie under any rock besides writing the "Hunt for Red October".

Damned lefty propaganda, my dear. I may have been a kid, during that era, but I knew what was going on and I have a far better than average memory.

The book may make you angry too. The day the Rosenberg ring was smashed, Joel Barr, who was part of it, fled to the Soviet Union. Barr had recruited at least 16 spies while at City College with Jules Rosenberg. In the Soviet Union, Barr was given a lab to develop weapons and a salary ten times that of the average Russian worker. He came back to the USA a few years ago.Ted Koppel interviewed him. Treason, page 52:

Barr had retained his American citzenship and had even voted in recent presidential elections. Guess which party he belonged to? Guess!

Koppel: You voted?
Mr. Barr: Of course I voted. Are you kidding? I'm a Democrat.

Btw..Joel Barr, who spent his life either stealing secrets from America or working in the USSR to develop weapons to kill Americans, collected Social Security checks from Uncle Sam--a result, I assume, of the work he did while he was selling classified information to the Soviets.
