Abstract
Abstract:During my adolescence in the 1950s, I began to understand that, in my immediate family, we were socialists of the democratic variety. My father was a labor lawyer and a staunch believer in collective bargaining. My mother, an English teacher at Queens College, had spent the Depression years as a social worker. New Dealers and active reform Democrats, their socialism was made manifest in the New York City institutions they cherished: public-sector unions, public education, public libraries, public housing, public health, public parks.
