I'm too tired tonight to write anything very coherent, but I will try to do so tomorrow night. Yes, Toadfrog, there are a few of us still around. I trust that many of you will read the brief article quoted by Don Firth, and will also read the statement, reached by the clicky in the quote, by Burton W. James and Florence Bean James explaining to the people of Seattle their reasons for refusing to answer any questions put to them by the Canwell Committee. You might also look at portions of the rather lengthy syllabus about The Cold War and the Red Scare in Washington State. I'm never sure that I get these clickies right, but I keep trying! If it takes you there, read the segment about "Hunting Reds in the Evergreen State."

When the Canwell Committee hearings began, I had been an actor at the Seattle Repertory Playhouse for about a year and a half. I attended each day of those hearings that pertained to the Jameses and their theater, I heard testimony that I knew personally to be false presented under oath against "Pop" and Mrs. James and the staff of the theater. I will try to describe this experience for you tomorrow.

But, for now, goodnight, good people.
