From a piece titled "Better Read Than Dead: A Revised Opinion" about Lebowitz's grammar school-era beliefs about Communism: "I was not a slow child. But I believed passionately that Communists were a race of horned men who divided their time equally between the burning of Nancy Drew books and the devising of a plan of nuclear attack that would land the largest and most lethal bomb squarely upon the third-grade class of Thomas Jefferson School in Morristown, New Jersey."
