A Covert Affair (66 page)

Jane's self-portrait, drawn after her first breakdown in 1955, while she was in Cornell University Hospital in New York hiding from “the men in gabardine coats.”

Betty never believed Jane was disloyal but had her doubts about George, who she visited in Paris in the early 1980s and again found to be “a strange man.”

After they left the Foreign Service in 1961, Julia and Paul settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where they lived happily for the next thirty-two years, but they never forgot the friends who were not lucky enough to escape the McCarthy era unscathed, and they remained passionate Democrats.
