...month ago he was anathema: the Yellow Peril, the shameless Pervert of True Marxism-Leninism, the terrible Trotskyite Deviationist and Splitter.

Waldron Jr. of a middle-class Seattle family, Dennis joined the party as a youthful instructor, served as a Red agent in Europe, China and South Africa, became the leader of U.S. Communists after Moscow dumped his onetime mentor, Earl Browder, for deviationist notions. In 1950 Dennis went to jail for refusing to testify about his Communism before a House committee; again, after the 1949 trial of "first-string" Communists, he was convicted for conspiring to teach and advocate the violent overthrow of the Government and sentenced to five years...
