Tape 2 - The discussion begins with stories about Bertram's book about strange communists, and the conversation briefly touches on happenings and conditions in Russia. However, most of the time is spent on the Wolfes' experiences in Mexico. Among the topics are Diego Rivera; Leon Felipe, describing him from a variety of angles, using stories to illustrate his character; a new library in Mexico; other communist painters and assassination attempts on Leon Trotsky; the relationship of the living with the dead; and the Soviet's view of Mexicans. Also, Wolfe describes Max Eastman.
