Dallin and from such disillusioned ex-Communists or onetime sympathizers as Max Eastman, Louis Fischer, Granville Hicks and the late General Walter Krivitsky.

He had started a special project for collecting interviews and papers from people around New York City who had played a big behind-the-scenes role in history. His first target two years ago was a man who had never written a page of memoirs and had been all but forgotten by the public.
