...quite obvious that Mr. Friedrich has failed to distinguish between a movie which arouses prejudice, and one which, through method of interpretation, offends the arbitrarily imposed moral standards demanded of all pictures by one religion, but in no way attacks or stirs up hatred against this group. To indiscriminately lump the two into one category is both unwarranted and distinctly dangerous. There is a fundamental difference between propagation of hate and a disagreement over moral standards...
...associated nations." About half of the equipment would come from U. S. World War II surplus stocks. The material would be tailored for use against a big land invader, specifically Russia, including jet-driven aircraft, modern artillery, and small arms; the countries receiving the material would probably lump their armed services under a single command such as General Montgomery's brand-new "Uniforce," although the U. S. would retain no control as to the material's final disposition or use. The equipment cost one-and-a-half billion dollars...
That could be fixed. Angel Farrell paid a lump-sum $1,300,000 for the Warner Theater ("a cash deal is best") and closed Hold It! until he could reopen it in his own property. He shelled out $200,000 to make the house the town's plushiest and, with its silk-damasked walls, probably the gaudiest. When contractual snarls developed over transplanting Hold It!, Farrell switched from musicomedy to revue, signed up Comics Bert Wheeler and Paul and Grace Hartman, tossed in another $250,000 and put on All for Love.

Revisionism was erroneously believing in peaceful progress towards socialism. And just plain Browder-ism: being guilty of all the other errors in one big lump...
...unjustified attacks on the Conference--picketing by veterans' groups, State Department refusal of visas to many delegates, and generally hostile press coverage--will necessarily obscure any valid reasons that Schlesinger may have had for opposing the meetings, and will certainly lump him with these other forces in the public mind. It is his mistake to have made his objections under the aegis of such a false front as the Americans for Intellectual Freedom. This group, hastily and temporarily organized, scheduled its "counter-rally" on the same evening as the climax of the Conference--an obvious and ineffective way of hitting...
