As to fn 37, let me try again and frame the question another way. Have you read the Glen book and, if so, what is your response to his evidence that Highlander was not a Communist training school? Again, this is my point in bring up fn 37.
A leftist is not necessarily a communist. Sometimes it's difficult to tell however. Who would want to bet Pete Seeger isn't one?

I don't normally run to Barnes & Noble to purchase a $25 book just to argue with someone who has an "obscure-professor" fetish. The Web is a better resource. For example, consider the testimony of a real leftist which I found at trumanlibrary.com. Here's what one-time US congressman (1949-1983) and a founder of the Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), Richard W. Bolling, had to say:
Well, for some reason, I've forgotten why, I guess the year between my graduation in '37 and the beginning of my masters, which was in English literature--I got my bachelor's in French literature and my masters in English--I went to a Quaker school, a Quaker camp, at a place called the Highlander Folk School. The Highlander Folk School was famous in those days for being dominated by the Stalinists. But there were also people like the Friends; the camp was a Friends camp at this school. I got exposed to all of that. I had a couple of people that are relatively well-known in Washington, one that was there, and we each remember the other as relatively sympathetic to their anti-Stalinist view. They were the ones that were most interested in the anti-Stalinist view. The guy I'm talking about is Adam Yarmalinsky, an intellectual with considerable potency.
JOHNSON: This Quaker school would be inherently anti-Stalinist, would it not, since they do not believe in dictatorship?
BOLLING: They didn't believe in it, but they were at the same school.
JOHNSON: They were at the same school--or on the same grounds?
BOLLING: No, they were there as guests of and paying their way at Highlander. In those days there was a large amount of infiltration into liberal groups that didn't know they were infiltrated.
[Emphasis added] http://www.trumanlibrary.org/oralhist/bolling.htm
Funny how terms like "dominated by the Stalinists" and "infiltration into liberal groups" and "communist-led" makes one wonder if there might just be just the slightest outside chance that the Highlander School was a "Communist training school" -- even, maybe, part of the "grand communist conspiracy?"
And, remember, I didn't say it. Two leftists did.
