<<Some facts on the Hollywood Ten and that era:
Ring Lardner, Jr. is mentioned in Catcher in the Rye, very warmly--or is it
Ring, Sr--anyway, the refutation of McCarthyism is clear;   Dalton Trumbo
is credited with screenwriting in Spartacus, a move seen as "giving him
his name back," and a clever move by an English director, Stanley Kubrick,
early in his career>>
Kubrick was from New York, though he was based in England later in life.
