	The Wonderful Life and Strange Death of Walter Reuther excerpted from the book Dirty Truths by Michael Parenti
		(Reuther was a close friend and advisor to the Kennedys.) The resulting report warned of radical right elements inside the military and urged the president to dismiss generals and admirals who engaged in rightist political activities.
		Reuther's demise appears as part of a truncation of liberal and radical leadership that included the deaths of four national figures: President John Kennedy, Malcolm X Martin Luther King, and Senator Robert Kennedy, and dozens of leaders m the Black Panther Party and in various community organizations.
		Whether Reuther's death was part of a broader agenda to decapitate and demoralize the mass movements of that day, or whether such an agenda existed at all, are questions that go beyond the scope of our inquiry.

		Walter Reuther was a complex figure whose self-confident liberalism and soaring rhetoric, even in the last years of his life, had much to commend it.
		Reuther and his executive board eventually moved against such blatant segregation in the southern locals, but a second racial problem, the upgrading of fl workers into the skilled trades, proved even more difficult to resolve.
		Reuther had been at the margins of power for so long that he took even Kennedy's limited accommodation as signifying an intimate collaboration...one senses again the powerful seduction to which Reuther had succumbed.

		Walter Reuther's close connection to the Communists, including a possible brief membership, has a meaning and legacy that is of more than sectarian interest.
		To most of his conservative opponents, Reuther's sojourn in the Soviet Union and subsequent alliance with the Communists sustained the accusation that he was simply a red.
		To union activists this charge was something of an accolade in the mid-1930s, but a few years later, the suspicion among Reuther's left-wing rivals that he used the CP's influence to advance his fortunes in the UAW lay behind their frequent assertions that he was a political opportunist at...
