Though L.P.A. folded in 1954, Haessler survived by servicing the two principal U.S. Communist dailies-Manhattan's Daily Worker and San Francisco's People's World-and a hard core of leftwing unions...
...there remains a fundamental con-isistency in the development of [their] thought and practice." As Progoff sees it, Freud took the initial dive, and then the other three followed, each penetrating a little more deeply into the depths of the psyche, each coming a little closer to "the spiritual core of man's being...
