Merwin

Merwin Hart is the central figure in Chapter One and pops up again repeatedly afterward.

I found Merwin Hart because of his friendship with Buckley's father.

So that’s his initial focus, but Merwin Hart becomes increasingly convinced that the reason all of these changes are happening is because, essentially, the Jews and Communists secretly control the White House.

So there was this cluster of right-wing activities where Merwin Hart was sort of central.

They were able to look at these guys and say, "Well, Merwin Hart," just to use him as an example, "his heart's in the right place, he's primarily motivated by anticommunism."
