This is an excellent summary of Jones/Duranty!

For comic relief if you have a minute - at least that's the way I take it - try this.

Atheist Russia Shakes The World

...Duranty has written sympathetic accounts for years to the New York Times, and his volume of articles (Russia Reported, 1934) made a deep impression.(Joseph McCabe)

I guess the famous old skeptic's skepticism failed him with bolshevism.  On how many others did Duranty's work make such a "deep impression"?

McCabe is one weird guy. Catholics created Bolshevism. I've tried to follow the logic and connections but McCabe loses me. Reminds me of LaRouche. Both start out OK and all of a suddenly you are in a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
