well, someone has to be the adult here…
perhaps a less rosy view of these victims is warranted.
check out this more serious piece of journalistic analysis from laobserved.com
offers a bit of perspective and broader context of the times.

Dorothy Parker lived at 8983 Norma Place, where husband Alan Campbell killed himself. Shortly after, a neighbor, seeing her, asked how she could help. Her reply – “Get me a new husband.” The shocked neighbor recoiled; Parker then said, “If not, then run down to the corner and get me a ham and cheese on rye. And tell them to hold the mayo.

Sounds like she fit right into our city.

Wonderful piece, Bob. A really shameful time in this country when every problem was blamed on secret Commies. It’s always easier to have a scapegoat (gays, Communists, feminists, immigrants), than looking within to search for solutions.
