When I asked in 1982 "How will we know if it's happening here?" This was her answer.
"EVERYTHING will become political. The clothes you wear, the food you eat, the books you read and where you buy all that. News on the radio and in the papers will begin and end with politics. Grey disappears, everything becomes black or white, you or them."
The scariest thing she said was "It will happen in your lifetime".
