]Agreed that he should be studied, but the mess was started by others, e.g.
]the first Hollywood tribunal by the HUAC in 1947. But McCarthy and the HUAC

]most publicity. The real work was done through a number of legislative acts

This is not to justify the abuses, but people do tend to forget that there
were communists in Hollywood that were attempting to use their position to
benefit Stalin's USSR at the expense of the US. There were several of these
folks in my wife's family, so I speak from direct knowledge of these folks.
Anyway, what does this have to do with EFF?
