...would have been highly inappropriate for Harvard to honor Paulin by allowing him to deliver the Morris Gray Lecture, which has been previously given by such Nobel Prize-winning luminaries as Seamus Heaney and Anthony Hecht. To let Paulin give a distinguished lecture at this University after expressing such an offensive and violent message would inevitably legitimize his hateful rhetoric...
...with the Ernest Lehmans of the world," Winchell supposedly said. "I go after the Westbrook Peglers [a right-wing journalist]." Five years later, Lehman was a big-shot screenwriter ("Executive Suite," "Sabrina") and reluctant to have the romanette-a-clef turned into a movie. But the indie-prod outfit Hecht-Lancaster was a comer - "Trapeze," with Burt Lancaster and Curtis, had hit it big, and "Marty" would win the top Oscar in 1956 - so when they promised Lehman he could direct as well as adapt his story, he bought...

...Office of War Information, for instance, advised movie producers not to mention the genocide. The O.W.I. had surveys showing substantial anti-Semitism in the U.S. Better, it thought, to play the Nazis in traditional enemy style, as geopolitical bullies. This avoidance was true everywhere in the culture. Ben Hecht, the screenwriter, wrote a pageant depicting the extermination of 2 million Jews--an accurate figure as of 1943.
