Again: "No administration has tried to enforce it." http://www.answers.com/topic/communist-control-act-of-1954 I kinda thought the Wikipedia entry was a little truncated. I've talked to members of the Communist Party at peace marches and I think you have little to fear from them Willy. BTW, Gus Hall was an occasional guest on the TV show I worked on in the 1970s. Kind of a wacky guy, a little like you in fact. :D :D :D :D :D
