Allen, 44, who grew up in Collingswood, N.J., early developed a fascination, though hardly a sympathy, for Communism in its various manifestations. After earning his bachelor's and master's degrees at Notre Dame, he went to the University of Munich in West Germany to work on a doctoral dissertation.
