become so obsessed with watching his neighbors
across the street? Is this simply voyueurism or is
his movitation deeper and more complicated
than that?

"Even acute observers, noting the numerical
weakness of the Communists, have taken false
hope from this fact. Such people fail to
understand that the Communists are able to
rally into their service multitudes who are
completely unaware that they are serving
the Communist cause. Our purpose here is
to study those attitudes which transform well-
meaning, patriotic, Christian people into the
allies of Communism."
