WRITER - This week our guest is LINDA J. ALEXANDER. Linda's most recent of 5 published books

is "Reluctant Witness: Robert Taylor, Hollywood, & Communism."

Robert Taylor's most defining moment was a 1947 subpoenaed appearance with the House Un-American Activities

Committee, in response to a fear of Communism in the United States. Today, he is incorrectly recalled as the

one who "named names." Linda's book tells the truth of Taylor's life and that political "circus," his

words.
