He adored his smart and beautiful Romanian-born mother; meanwhile his father, whod immigrated from Poland, was stupid, insensitive, grouchy, meanspirited, faultfinding, and a racist. Their working-class Bronx neighborhood was pretty evenly divided between card-carrying Communists, Communist sympathizers and New Deal Democrats; Aunt Jeanette, the self-anointed family intellectual, felt compelled, when there was a band playing at one of her sisters weddings, to use her long scarf to do a solo dance in the manner of Isadora Duncan another fervent supporter of the Communist regime in Russia
