I was working for the Socialist International, after I left university in 1959, as a researcher.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Two years later, I went to the University of Minnesota from which I was on leave for several years during the war as a member of Statistical Research Group at Columbia University.
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.
At the time I belonged to the socialist party, and Hitler came to power.
In 1958, I decided that I was going to live in Europe permanently. So in 1959 I moved to Lugano, Switzerland.
When I was in college, I was always saying I was a socialist.
By the time I received my doctorate in American studies in 1957, I was in the twisted grip of a disease of our times in which the sufferer experiences an overwhelming urge to join the 'real world.' So I started working for newspapers.
I was a student in Germany when Hitler came to power.
I worked at the United Nations.
I joined the Communist Party late in 1934. I got out a year and a half later.
I worked as a lawyer; as a member of the teaching staff of a technical college; and then I worked principally as legal adviser to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party.
