Uncle John is very far to the right - amazing for a newspaper guy.

When I worked in Hollywood, people didn't discuss politics - they were still smarting from the black lists and Joe McCarthy.

Politics started becoming topical when Ronald Reagan appeared on the political scene and championed the right. Then Ed Asner popped up for the left. Back then people didn't get hurt for their political views. Now they do.
