Also on that board was Frederic Malek, the deputy chairman of the Bush campaign who resigned after reporters learned that under President Nixon in 1971 he targeted Jews in the Bureau of Labor Statistics for investigation. Another board member, Lev Dobrianski, founded the World Anti-Communist League, a group later described by the head of its British chapter as a "collection of Nazis, fascists, [and] anti-Semites...
