Landau: (from letter found in Orlando Letelier's[Cuban Intelligence] briefcase)---"I think that at age forty the time has come to dedicate myself to narrower pursuits, namely, making propaganda for American socialism. It is still a forbidden word here, but eventually someone, or some group of people will have to put it together with a serious political movement. We cannot any longer just help out third world movements and revolutions, although obviously we shouldn’t turn our backs on them, but get down to the more difficult job of bringing the message home."
