The Swarmy Life and Times of the NCLC

Gregory Rose, the author of the article below, was a member of the U.S. Labor Party from 1973 to 1975. While a member, however, he began informing the FBI concerning the activities of the party, and he has subsequently been the party’s avowed foe. The statements in his article have been checked independently wherever possible and have proved to be true; as to the rest, Mr. Rose’s personal experience and knowledge as a member of the party are the chief bases of his article.

You meet them at a Republican club meeting, or a Chamber of Commerce luncheon, or a scientific conference. They are young (mid-to late twenties), well-dressed, well-groomed, well-spoken. They present themselves as being in favor of economic growth. They speak of energy produced by controlled thermonuclear fusion as “an absolute necessity if the human race is to survive the next quarter-century.” They say that they represent the Fusion Energy Foundation and need contributions from conservative businessmen who understand the need to oppose Ralph Nader and the “eco-freaks who threaten the growth of U.S. industry.” They sound good. You give them a check.
