Anybody looking for a quiet life has picked the wrong century to born in.

In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are Communists.

No, those ears were not created by any chance coming together of atoms in nature (the Communist view). They could have been created only by immense design.

On a scale personal enough to be felt by all, but big enough to be symbolic, the two irreconcilable faiths of our time - Communism and Freedom - came to grips in the persons of two conscious and resolute men.

At issue in the Hiss Case was the question whether this sick society, which we call Western civilization, could in its extremity still cast up a man whose faith in it was so great that he would voluntarily abandon those things which men hold good, including life, to defend it.
