Don't laugh... during the McCarthy era, various Red-baiters alleged that
Soviet agents had infiltrated admissions departments (particularly those
of grad schools in diplomacy, international relations, and journalism),
ostensibly to ensure a future generation of "pinkos" in high places.

Not one whit of evidence ever supported these claims, but in those days
anyone who asked for proof was a "fellow-traveler", or at least a "dupe".
