Freda Utley, Odyssey of a Liberal (Washington, D.C., 1970), pp. 200-201. Utley became an ultra-rightist, propagandist for the China lobby, and participant in the McCarthy attacks on China experts from government, academia, and the press in the early 1950s. Hence this flattering portrait of Smedley in her memoirs is all the more remarkable and a testimony to their special personal relationship; confirmed by interview with Utley.
