The entire work force of the Communist countries is sunjected to periodic
purges (called verifications in Newspeak).  One of the most severe took
place in 1957 when Novotny, rattled by the Hungarian Revolution the year
before, tried hard to weed out "radishes" (red outside, white inside) from
all but insignificant positions.  Any one of the following would often
result in the loss of one's job:  Bourgeois or Jewish family background,
relatives abroad, contacts with former capitalists, having lived in a
Western country, insufficient knowledge of Communist literature, and others.

        A man is interviewed by a "Verification Committee."
        "What kind of family do you come from?"
        "A rich, Jewish family."
        "And your wife?"
        "A German aristocrat."
        "Have you ever been to the West?"
        "I spent most of my life in England."
        "How did you make a living there?"
        "A friend supported me."
        "Where did you get the money from?"
        "He owned a textile factory."
        "Who was Lenin?"
        "Never heard of him."
        "What is your name?"
        "Karl Marx."
