Radical past "In a life marked largely by political caution, one entry on Sen. [Hillary Rodham] Clinton's resume stands out: her clerkship in 1971 at one of America's most radical law firms, Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein," Josh Gerstein writes in the New York Sun. "One partner at the firm, Doris Walker, was a Communist Party member at the time. Another partner, Robert Treuhaft, had left the party in 1958, several years after being called before the House Un-American Activities Committee and labeled as one of America's most 'dangerously subversive' lawyers. The Oakland-based firm was renowned for taking clients others rejected as too controversial, including communists, draft resisters, and members of the African-American militant group known as the Black Panthers. "To this day, Mrs. Clinton's decision to work at the unabashedly left-wing firm is surprising, even shocking, to some of her former colleagues there and to those supporting her bid for the presidency. To the former first lady's enemies and political opponents, her summer at the Treuhaft firm is yet another indication that radical ideology lurks beneath the patina of moderation she has adopted in public life."
