Roger Robb : Would it be fair to say that this meant that by 1942 he had not stopped having anything to do with the Communist Party? You don't have to answer that yes or no. You can answer any way you wish.
Kitty Oppenheimer : I know that. Thank you. But the question isn't properly phrased.
Roger Robb : Do you understand what I am trying to get at?
Kitty Oppenheimer : Yes, I do.
Roger Robb : Why don't you answer it that way?
Kitty Oppenheimer : I don't like the phrase 'having anything to do with the Communist Party' because Robert never had anything to do with the Communist Party as such. I know he gave money for Spanish refugees. I know he took an intellectual interest in Communist ideas...
Roger Robb : Are there two kinds of Communists? An intellectual Communist and a plain ordinary Commie?
Kitty Oppenheimer : I couldn't answer that one.
Ward Evans : I couldn't either.
