Stinging the NCC

Recently the President of France invited Susan Sontag, among other eminences, to bask in the sunshine of Socialist homage to intellectuals. This was the same Susan Sontag who told astonished intellectuals in Manhattan last year that any reader of Reader’s Digest this past generation had learned more about Communism than all those intellectuals who had made a vocation out of anti-anti-Communism.

Miss Sontag’s point became germane recently when the distinguished investigative journalist Rael Jean Isaac reported in the Reader’s Digest on assistance the National Council of Churches has been giving, perhaps inadvertently, to international socialism. Subsequently, CBS’s 60 Minutes, in an independent study, reached similar conclusions.
