First, they would have assured you that the American Communist Party
-- officially called Communist Party U.S.A. -- was made up of
idealistic do-gooder types who never for a moment spied for the Soviet
Union or at any time offered any kind of a threat to the United
States.
Second, you similarly would have been assured that there were no
serious Communists, or at least none of any significance, who spied
for Moscow in any government agency or among the scientists involved
in the Manhattan Project and at Los Alamos in the development of the
atomic bomb. You would have been told that Sen. Joseph McCarthy was
badly misinformed. You would have been told, too, that Alger Hiss was
innocent, the victim of an ambitious congressman (Richard Nixon) and
that the whole effort to uncover nonexistent Communists in Washington
had been launched by conservative Republicans eager to undo the
achievements of the New Deal and the liberal Roosevelt years. >>
I didn't see anything in the text to implicate the American Communist Party
here (other than support of Wallace). That wasn't exactly espionage. As for
the others, there is every evidence that they did what they did for money or
excitement. I doubt there was a political idealist among them. Maybe the
rest of the book will clear the issue. Prudy
