His experience as president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the trying period in which communism challenged Hollywood

Reagan won that battle, but it appears as if the Reds won, or at least are winning, the war for Hollywood. There are still a few holdouts of course. Gibson, Selleck, et all, and lots of country music types, Charlie Daniels, Reba, etc.

Yes. The problem is that they switched their focus from the SAG...to the offices of the producers CEOs themselves. Hence people like Michael Eisner, Harvey Weinstein and so forth are without question fellow-travellers, and we get films such as 'Reds' but never, ever a film about Stalin murdering 20 million people, or Mao Tse Tung 60 million people.

This new head-office focus is not to suggest that they have forgotten the Screen Actors Guild....as Ed (the Red)Asner's lengthy stint as its president makes quite clear...
