Plump, motherly, highly respected Mrs. Berger was entranced by the eloquence of handsome, charming Eugene Dennis. He persuaded her to go to Russia, and she returned piping the glories of the Soviet Union. Her country home became a second home for Dennis, who settled comfortably into the late Congressman Berger's old armchair. Meta Berger died in 1944, still not disabused...
