A crackling debate on political extremism, Right and Left. It is our host's contention that Mr. Schary and his organization are rather more alert to the former than to the latter: "It's awfully hard to discuss these questions, Mr. Schary, because you have been, I think, so amiable and so reasonable and so soft-spoken; but when you get on the typewriter, it sort of comes out different." Why, for instance, do Mr. Schary and the ADL regularly attack the John Birch Society and the Ku Klux Klan (and point out that some of their members actively supported Barry Goldwater's campaign) but not attack the equal and opposite extremism of Women's Strike for Peace or the Fair Play for Cuba Committee or the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee? DS: "Nobody's ever asked me to write anything about it ... Not everything I say, you see, gets into print."
