Excerpt

""A lover of my fellow creatures, a mere nameless worker for the cause--I aspire to be no more. In none of the textbooks of socialism is human affection expressly forbidden.'

'Fear Comrade Stalin? What nonsense.'

'I fear that you will be absorbed by this city and its decadent culture. What shall we tell them in Russia? That Trotsky, comrades, has become a New Yorker?'

'No no no,' Trotsky says. 'There's a dynamic contradiction in me, altogether healthy. Let me put it this way.' He sings:...
