It was a little embarrassing that after his war on gays as well as 
communists he wound up with the Bobbsey Twins, Cohn and Shine, on his 
staff. Shine faded out of politics and despite the allegations fathered 
several kids. Cohn remained active in political circles including 
mentoring a young Trump, until he died of AIDS.

Strange era. I remember a John Birch Society meeting in, iirc, 1963, where 
the party line was Dwight Eisenhower was a Communist dupe and Milton, his 
brother, was his handler.  Some of the animosity came from Eisenhower 
appointing Earl Warren as chief justice. Their battle cry was 'Impeach 
Earl Warren!'. Warren was as much a pig in a poke as Roberts.

I think I still have a copy of 'None Dare Call it Reason'. The JBS 
circulated it widely. The JBS had its standards. Oliver was booted despite 
being a founding member.

Many members thought 'Wall Street bankers' was a dog whistle but Welch was 
careful to know which side the bread was buttered on. I was surprised to 
find out they're still around.
