BEg2 chapter 10 in very brief

[Mark Kohut]

*Guys and Dolls* was selected as the winner of the 1951 Pulitzer Prize for
Drama <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Drama>. However,
because of writer Abe Burrows <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Burrows>'
communist sympathies as exposed by the House Un-American Activities
Committee
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Un-American_Activities_Committee> (HUAC),
the Trustees of Columbia University
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_University> vetoed the selection,
and no Pulitzer for Drama was awarded that year.[4]

Just like what The Trustees did to Pynchon's *Gravity's Rainbow, *albeit
for different hypocritical Middlebrow U. reasons.
