Abstract
When I was a kid in the fifties, I used to watch a television series called ‘I Led Three Lives’. While in my maturer political wisdom I have come to dismiss this potboiler as just another symptom of cold war hysteria, I can still vividly recall how enthralled I was back then by the weekly exploits of one Herbert Philbrick: ordinary citizen, member of the Communist Party, and FBI informer. Little did I dream at that time that one day I too would lead three lives.
