History is an orphan. It can speak, but cannot hear. It can give, but cannot take. Its wounds and tragedies can be read and known, but cannot be avoided or cured.

I watched `Hard Day`s Night` last night, on the Independent Film Channel, and I got quite caught up in it. I was so busy myself in those days I missed all that. A special bunch of people they were.

It`s hard to remember just what that period[the sixties] was like, but I can assure you it was extremely different from now. There was attitude, things you take for granted now they wouldn`t then: social values, the way people mix, racial segregation, sexual segregation and orientation, the opportunities people would or wouldn`t have, class and money. And the list goes on.

The `50s were the beginnings of a consumer revolution. A few books like Absolute Beginners give a reasonably accurate flavor of the period if you weren`t there or can`t quite remember; I was very young.

I`m totally anti-nostalgia; I never listen to old Rolling Stones records.
I`m not really interested in them. They`re funny, sometimes, to hear.

Dalton Trumbo
[1970, when accepting the Screen Writers Guild Laurel Award] The blacklist was a time of evil, and no one on either side who survived it came through untouched by evil. Caught in a situation that had passed beyond the control of mere individuals, each person reacted as his nature, his needs, his convictions, and his particular circumstances compelled him to. There was bad faith and good, honesty and dishonesty, courage and cowardice, selflessness and opportunism, wisdom and stupidity, good and bad on both sides. When you who are in your 40s or younger look back with curiosity on that dark time, as I think occasionally you should, it will do no good to search for villains or heroes or saints or devils because there were none; there were only victims. Some suffered less than others, some grew and some diminished, but in the final tally we were all victims because almost without exception each of us felt compelled to say things he did not want to say, to do things that he did not want to do, to deliver and receive wounds he truly did not want to exchange. That is why none of us - right, left, or center - emerged from that long nightmare without sin.

Lenin (V.I. Lenin) said that people vote with their feet. Well, that`s what`s happening. They either go, or they don`t go. It`s all politics. It`s all demographics.
