I joined the Communist Party because I felt I had to be in some organization.

At the time I belonged to the socialist party, and Hitler came to power.

I became a Communist because I fell in love with a man who was a Red and entered the Army to take care of the Fascists, and I knew it would please him if I became one.

I was even superior to the Communists and when they didn't go along with me, I quit them.

I came into the Republican party in 1980, when I was a college student at Georgetown.

I lived under the Nazis and under the Communists.

When I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist, pretty much to the left. But not when I left the university. I quickly got wise. I'd read about what had happened to Russia in 1917 when the Communists took over.

I was a Democrat for a period of time early on. And then I was also an independent. And then I became a Republican.

I was working for the Socialist International, after I left university in 1959, as a researcher.
