Much of the spying is conducted by unofficial, unobtrusive snoops who belong to street committees, party-run groups formed to monitor local communities.

...feel it necessary to first establish my credentials, since the first affair has now degenerated into what amounts to name-calling. First, I am not a member of Pi Eta, nor do I even know any who do belong to the club. Also (I am sure Mr. Ippolito will be glad to know).
