Story

William Weinstone was a party man in the years when American communism still thought it might become a mass language. A brief turn as executive secretary put him in the minutes; Detroit put him on a factory gate.

He lived long enough to see the movement shrink and the memoirs multiply. The useful fact is the labor years: a New Yorker who treated the auto shop as the real convention.
