	ROGER NASH BALDWIN FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Roger Nash Baldwin was born in Wellesley,_Massachusetts to Frank Fenno Baldwin and Lucy Cushing Nash.
		Baldwin was a lifelong pacifist; he was a member of the American_Union_against_Militarism, which opposed World_War_I, and spent a year in jail as a conscientious_objector rather than submit to the draft.
		As director, Baldwin was integral to the shape of the association's early character; it was under Baldwin's leadership that the ACLU undertook some of its most famous cases, including the Scopes_Monkey_Trial, the Sacco_and_Vanzetti murder trial, and its challenge to the ban on James_Joyce's Ulysses.

		Baldwin was also still obsessed with control—control he had exercised over the ACLU and its activities from its founding in 1920 until his retirement as executive director in 1950, control over his children, and even over what would be said at the memorial service that would be held after his death.
		Liberated as Roger Baldwin was from the conservatism of his patrician heritage, to the point of having a free love marriage with his first wife and swimming nude on Martha’s Vineyard beaches, he was still infected with some of the subtle prejudices of the class and era in which he grew up.
		Baldwin’s life, from the age of 33 until his death at the age of 97, was so intimately involved with the ACLU and its predecessor organizations that Cottrell’s biography, as its title indicates, is a story of the ACLU as well.

		Roger Nash Baldwin, founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, leftist, anarchist, and Communist, was born in Wellesley, Massachusetts to comfortably situated parents, in 1884.
		Baldwin was imprisoned in 1918 for publicly supporting conscientious objectors to the war and anticipatorily refusing to be drafted; eventually, he made common cause with members of the Jewish anarchist group Frayhayt, which campaigned to block the U.S. invasion of Russia.
		Indeed, Baldwin's elitism may have played a role in the ACLU's decision to support Scopes at the famous "monkey trial." The Darwinism of the 1920's had a strong eugenic strand running through it, and Baldwin himself was a close friend of noted birth control advocate and eugenicist Margaret Sanger.

		Baldwin had traveled to the Soviet Union, had written about it, and had corresponded to many of his friends on the Left who tried to persuade him to criticize the Soviets (including Emma Goldman, see, e.g., Cottrell at 194, 197-98, 216).
		ACLU founder Roger Baldwin was quite explicit that "Communism is the goal" of the ACLU, as he observed in a Harvard University publication.
		Why Akhmerov viewed Baldwin with such distrust is unclear, though doubtless the latter's "sympathy" for Trotsky was enough to damn any Communist or fellow traveller in the eyes of Soviet officials in the 1930s.

		Roger Baldwin's life and views took on many shapes, reflecting the changing shapes of American politics over the sixty years during which he was politically active.

		Spearheaded by Baldwin, volunteer attorneys of the caliber of Clarence Darrow, Arthur Garfield Hays, Osmond Frankel, and Edward Ennis transformed the constitutional landscape.

		Baldwin's own contemporaneous words are pretty good evidence of his motives for organizing and leading the ACLU at that time.
		Volokh reiterate his point that Baldwin "recanted in 1939 (though, as I said, that was mighty late), and turned into a severe critic of the Soviet regime." Anyone who questions Baldwin's "recantation" and criticism of the Soviet regime should read his book: A New Slavery: The Communist Betrayal of Human rights.
		Baldwin's rosy descriptions of the Soviet Union show he was unaware of most of Stalin's crimes, certainly his worst atrocities which were not widely known for quite some time after they occurred.
