Mathews was in the Peace Corps I believe in late 50's. He was stationed in the Congo. I bet that is where he became a communist.

Matthews was in the Peace Corps in Africa...I don't remember the years but it couldn't have been in the late '50s because the Peace Corps was started by JFK.

Peace Corps was created by Jack Kennedy, elected in 1960. Your dates are off a tad, but close.

Nah, I think he learned it as press secretary to Tip O'Neill, who never met a tax (or a bottle of whiskey) he didn't like.
