My Eccentric Family: Memories from a Communist, Mafioso, Zionist

Norman Cantor ’64 chronicles his parents’ lives and careers, and eventually his own, in this new memoir. Born to a father who was a major figure in the Communist Party USA and a mother who was a civil rights lawyer in the 1940s, Canter details how he found his own place in the legal profession, spending some time as a liberal Zionist in Israel and activist in the Death with Dignity movement along the way.
