They probably think I was seduced into communism.

That doesn’t mean I like it.

It was the only way for it to happen.

I hate that. Even now, we can't have privacy.

I still don't want them to know.

They like to monitor people.

They know Sasha and Katya are in France now. They helped them defect.

I often worry that they do.

I'm very fortunate no one thought I was involved in that.

They knew we were friends.

A lot of my coworkers made comments about how I should be glad he was found out before he could "try anything" with me.

It was pretty bad. This was back in the 50s, so everyone was on very high alert.

That was how I found out he was cheating. He got caught with another one of our coworkers, and they were both fired.

And he got himself fired anyway.

Yes, but that was a long time ago.

Maybe he was right. I probably assumed it was more serious than it was.
