...clash of titanic forces.The villain in the melodrama was the government. It can haul you before congressional committees and ruin your career, as it did to the Hollywood Ten. It can threaten you with jail time on trumped-up charges, as it did to the Chicago Seven. It can bar you from going to your local high school, as it did to the Little Rock Nine...
