Then came a staggering array of flirtations and affairs...
...Seeger's travels abroad, an unfortunately cursory version of his confrontation with the House Un-American Activities Committee (the full transcript is well worth looking up in Eric Bentley's Thirty Years of Treason), a list of the translators who did the King James Bible, quotations from Casanova and Lenin, and--most important of all --a liberal sprinkling of songs...
