BTW, Hofstadter's first wife Felice, who died young, was the sister of Harvey Swados, the left wing novelist who had been an early Shachtmanite. Hofstadter was a Buffalo, NY native, and the Shachtmanites had 'colonized' Buffalo industries in early 1940s.
I think that Felice was part of turning Hofstadter from the CP into an anti-Stalinist leftist. Harvey Swados wrote a novel, Standing Fast, which is about the Shachtmanites in that period, centered on the Buffalo group.
