I don't know, but I'm guessing very few. For me, the rightward sojourn was a pretty brief aberration. I became a "Marxist" in 8th grade - the quotes because you do have to wonder what kind of Marxist I was at that age. My detour on the right lasted from the final months of high school through the first months of my sophomore year in college. Of my old Party of the Right comrades, several became professional right-wingers. Grover "Rocky" Rees, POR chair, picked federal judges for Reagan, moved on to become the Chief Justice of American Samoa, then served as our first ambassador to East Timor under George W. Another, Walter Olson, was a Manhattan Institute fellow for years and is now at Cato; he's a major promoter of tort reform. Richard Brookheiser is a senior editor at National Review. I ran into one guy at the POR's 50th anniversary party five or six years ago who was the PR man for the reactionary Catholic League.
