Was that the same time the Communist Workers Party militants
were set up by an undercover cop? I know several of them
were prosecuted on some type of charge but I do not
know what their fate was. Had they been a part of theat
communist leadership or was it another group?
Somehow I don't think you are talking about the CPUSA.

One wonders what they think of the shinners now. Was
NORAID active in San Diego? I believe they have now 
withered away to become the "Freinds of Sinn Fein."
