Not that the doctors had any complaints (routine audits by a big Atlanta firm showed nothing amiss), but they needed a manager with more experience. When the new manager, John C. Walsh, arrived in Atlanta from New Orleans, Margaret graciously hosted a welcoming party. But on his third day at work Accountant Walsh happened to check through the bank deposits.

Then last June, he was subpoenaed by the House Un-American Activities Committee. After one appearance at which he declined to name his former associates, he decided to answer everything. He had, he said, been a party member from 1934 until 1946, when he broke in "complete disillusionment." During that time, he had worked with a Senate committee investigating railroads, had had a job with the NLRB and then with...
