CPUSA Trove to NYU
The Communist Party USA has donated a huge collection of material to NYU - lots of fascinating stuff to sort through and eventually study.
I'm a little bemused the New York Times files it in the ARTS section. I guess they're thinking that it's like a museumy-kinda-thing?

It's not surprising that the Times covered this news item in its section on "The Arts." The paper has long shamelessly devoted the section's front page to coverage of non-arts topics ranging from network news, sports, and the Iraq war to science, the Holocaust, sexual abuse, and politics. For numerous examples dating back to 1991, search for "Appendix C" on the website of Aristos (an online review of the arts), which I co-edit.
