To: good old days
was written by Robert Sherwood, a former FDR speechwriter and possibly the sole member of Roosevelt's retinue with a clear understanding of communism. Unfortunately, this is far from being true... FDR's retinue had plenty of people who had a clear understanding of communism, starting with Alger Hiss and I'm sure many other practicing anti-American communists. But I get the author's point.

"... FDR's retinue had plenty of people who had a clear understanding of communism, starting with Alger Hiss and I'm sure many other practicing anti-American communists." Reminds me of Reagan's quote:
"How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
