...Berlin-born Czech, a veteran of the anti-Hitler underground. He is now U.S. correspondent for Zurich's daily Die Tat, the weekly Die Weltwoche, and his own European feature agency, Dukas. His helper for Vol. i, No. i, was Correspondent Hans Steinitz of the Bern daily Der Bund. They timed their maiden issue to meet Mrs. Jung on her arrival from a European trip. She had wed her husband under protest last spring, feeling that journalism was "all dissension, fear and hate," and Jung had promised to prove that it ain't necessarily...

But he chose to join the Jewish General Social-Democratic Union - known as the Jewish Bund. Though both re mained revolutionaries, from 1903 onward he opposed Lenin's methods. In 1917, thirteen days after Lenin's seizure of power, Zaslavsky's opposition twanged toward its angriest pitch : "Lenin has taken power to become the genuine autocrat of Russia. ...
