"...When you have a Communist for an ally, you get a two-fer. A friend now, an enemy soon enough..."

That, my FRiend, is a money quote! Is that your own?

I'm afraid so. Kinda hit me as I started listing all the Communist back-stabbing situations and noticed there was no end in sight.

Fascinating specifics on the loyal Soviet agents at State. I'd also forgotten why I had a funny association with the name "Stillwell." Wow. Remember the expression "Who lost China?" that the Soviet agents of influence in the U.S. press derided so condescendingly?

"Lost," my ear. Who murdered China and sold its children into slavery?
