Actually, the KGB definitely made attempts at penetrating L-5 &/or compromising members. This is not a surmise; I can name names. That is in addition to the amusing fact that the KGB chief of station quietly joined a couple of years ago (according to the FBI); anyone can join by paying $20. But the idea that L-5, whose honchos include(d) Sen. Goldwater, be a communist front is, of course, the sort of marvelously preposterous stuff to paste on one's office door.

Anyone who attended the recent L5 conference in San Francisco knows that L5 is virulently anti-communist and has a strong dislike for Russia, in spite of Russia's impressive space achievements. I'm no fan of the Russian government myself but I found the anti-Soviet malarky excessive.
