ABSTRACT
Several entangled influences of personal and family history and local, national, and international events drew the author to Marx. The structure and many of the rudiments of the Mosaic story were recapitulated in the unlikely adventures of the superheroes of the comic books. The author has begun to read children's books about age four but discovered the more exciting fare of comic books soon thereafter and must have read many hundreds until other books supplanted them. The Christians they knew in Buffalo, including the near-frothing Bund, seemed not too dissimilar from many of those they had known earlier and thus viewed as a potential danger. Although all their parents' close friends were Jews, they were able to establish friendly relations with Christians whom they considered trustworthy and decent. In every capitalist country, the industrialists, the capitalists, controlled the government, and when other means failed they set out through warfare to capture new markets.
