Acknowledgements
I am deeply indebted to the late Professor Glen H. Mullin of Columbia University for his invaluable aid in the writing of this autobiography. His patient and understanding guidance gave me the courage to face this task and enabled me to unlock the gates to an overcrowded mind. I owe much to the many friends and co-workers who advised me and criticized the manuscript.
My source material for most of the events I describe was primarily the monumental collection of the American Civil Liberties Union files—correspondence, documents and newspaper clippings—some 1500 volumes stored on the shelves of the New York Public Library. No one is quite as familiar as I with this material, for each year since 1920, under my supervision, the Union's files were prepared for permanent binding and sent to the Library. For three years, beginning in 1946, I studied these priceless records, gathering material for this book.
In addition, my personal files and scrapbooks dating back to 1914, together with articles I published in Harper's Magazine, The Nation, New Republic, American Mercury, New Outlook and other journals, have proved important sources of information.
