Several score ago socialist seeds were sown by the Soviets in our unions. Then after what has been an extraordinarily long gestation the resulting fruit is temptingly large luscious and yes, poisonous. The fruit is also extraordinarily rare.

Yet the power of the fruit breeds desire. European fascism from the east, Chinese communism from the west, have converged for the poisoned feast.

Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die.
